                                Ocean Dots: Island Imagery
                                
                                 While researching my next trip, I found this web site, http://www.oceandots.com/ "Oceandots.com is an image-based atlas of the world’s islands and reefs as viewed from low earth orbit. Presented in a gazetteer/image gallery format, each entry consists of at least one image and a small amount of background information on the island." The owners of the site don’t identify themselves very well, but the sources include NASA data, so I expect it is a scientific collaboration project....

                                Nudibranch Nirvana
                                
                                 Check out this set of nudibranch photos!!!! No lettuce leaf; he’ll have to spend some time in Bonaire. :>) But oh the beauties he did see, and what amazing poses. My favorite is the one with a blenny perched on top of the nudibranch while it feeds on a sea pen. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2008/06/nudibranchs/doubilet-photography...
