So... I'm in the Bahamas, living on a boat. Life rocks, the kids are cool. I have internet access briefly, so obviously I logged onto dA to say that I SAW FOUR SEA TURTLES TODAY AND I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!

Photography is kind of rough so far because I've got to keep my eye on these kids on a boat or at the beach or whatever, and they like to find ingenious ways to scare the crap out of me. The little boy hugged a German shepard yesterday whilst failing to tell me he's allergic to dogs. He broke out in hives and started wheezing so I had to find a grocery store and get Benadryl in him ASAP. Then he got grumpy and passed out for three hours. First aid training is coming into handy. Is that an expression? Coming in handy? Whatever. LOL And we spend a lot of time on a small boat that gets drenched. I got sick of not having my gear, so all my lenses and the camera body are in individual plastic Ziploc bags -oh, except the 60mm is NEVER coming off ever. I love it. Then my camera bag is in plastic grocery bags.

Anyway, yes, I SAW FOUR SEA TURTLES TODAAAAAAAAAAY and I am doing a happy dance. I also saw an awesome ray, all spotted and cute. Lots of wrasses, butterfly fish, angelfish, parrotfish, yellowtail snappers, and more stuff that most people probably think is boring. Soft coral, hard coral, sea feathers, sea fans. Oooooooooh and ctenophores. I adore ctenophores!

I am sunburned. I am exhausted. I am covered in salt. I am so aliiiiiiive!
