On my morning walk this morning I found two things. One was the other side of that boulder that I found last week. Someone must have took it away, then carried it back. :oops:
The other thing was this Huge hermit crab. I have been diving and walking the shore here all my life and I never...
Long Nose butterflies have tiny mouths just like Copperbands so they need tiny food. But they eat a lot. I also feed chopped clams and a few other "natural" foods and that is "one" reason, maybe the main reason I don't have to quarantine.
That small long nose butterfly ate almost 50...
Today I had to go 20 miles near my favorite LFS so I picked up a long spine urchin, blue stripe pipefish, 3 hermit crabs and about 6" X 6" piece of gsp. (Green Star Polyps) to cover some pieces of DIY rock to cover some areas where the cement came off.
$48 bucks for everything. Not bad.
I walked on the beach and came across this rock that is cleanly broken in half.
That rock is probably 20 tons so I hope I don't come across the guy who broke it, especially if he is carrying the other half.. :eek2:
Diana, He lives in Manhattan so boy scouts there probably wash taxi's or subway tracks. :rolleyes:
Maybe he will join the Marines. I would be very proud. :D
My grandson Teddy went to camp this week in North Carolina.
It's a real "MAN" camp and I am so glad he went. I think all 11-year-olds should go to one of these.
He took the plane himself. I mean alone without his parents. (the camp people met him there I am sure)
He has to live in a tent...
I am pretty sure these Waspfish spawned in this cave. They have not moved in days and won't eat. I dropped earthworms right in front of them and live whiteworms. Something they never refuse.
I can't see the eggs because they don't really move and the larger one is blocking me from seeing...
Two days ago, my friend came by and said he was in Petco buying dog food, and he said they had these "neon looking" fish.
I knew they were neon gobi's, and I have one. I don't usually buy fish from Petco, not because I think their fish suck, but I just don't think to go there because they...
My morning beach walk started as usual. As I walked along the beach at low tide I came across a horseshoe crab on it's back. I gently kicked it and noticed that it was dead so I couldn't save it as I would normally do.
I resumed my walk not noticing much in front of me because I keep looking...
I can't believe that at this stage of my life, I live in such a beautiful place. And, it's in New York. New York is about the most populated place in the US, but here, near the eastern end of Long Island on the North Shore. Away from the very rich south shore, I walk on the beach every...
Nothing exciting on my morning beach walk except this lobster buoy. I did try to rescue 3 horseshoe crabs but they were too dead to be helped.
I left it there but many people hang them on their property.
It's hard to see here because it was very sunny, but I have 4 types of seaweed that I...
I think these guys either spawned or are about to spawn. They have been in this hole for a couple of days and I saw them doing the Macarena which I think in Waspfish talk means spawning. :love_heart:
As I was on here this morning, I heard my wife scream. She fell in the bedroom so of course I ran to her but couldn't get her back on to the bed.
The days where I would lift her up and put her on my shoulder are long over and she is not overweight by any stretch of the imagination.
But...
My morning beach walk
I love my morning walks, especially low tide when I find most of the interesting things. Today was high tide but I still find things that got blown or washed all the way up on the beach.
Live concrete
Live piece of a dock, probably from Connecticut.
Live asphalt. I...
