Western brush rabbit. Very shy native cottontail. We usually have one or two in the garden each year. This is the closest I have managed to get so far.

In fairness, the heron has better motivation and agility.

Notoriously bitey, the ocean trigger fish. This was about 80 feet down.

The crows were warning me about a predator nearby.
I asked what do you see? They yelled "hawk! hawk!"



Ahh, the wonderful camouflage of the red-shoulder hawk.

I periodically revisit my dive photos. I generally process less than a quarter of them initially. This is from a dive in 2020. We had a shiver of four black tips circling us for around 20 minutes. I didn't know I had got a picture of more than one of them at a time. This was taken when I was still using the little Olympus Tracker with the 208 degree lens, so quality isn't great and everything is A LOT closer than it looks.
