Robert's Ramblings

On my way home tonight I spotted this gorgeous waxing crescent moon setting amid wispy western clouds.

No time to find an exotic location. It was enough to get a tripod out onto the footpath, fight off the pedestrians and time the shots between glaring oncoming headlights.

And then it was gone.

I spotted this tiny (12mm long) little nudibranch (sea slug) during an amazing Edithburgh Jetty night dive during the early hours of this morning.

I am still attempting to identify this little guy but in the mean time I'll just call it the White Rabbit as the two leading rhinophores look like ears and the rear branchial plume makes for fine cotton tail!

In the same way that Alice took off down the rabbit hole or Neo after Trinity, it's a white rabbit like this one that draws me away from a cosy bed into the chilly ocean in the small hours of the morning with camera in tow to see what wonders I can discover.
