Your best photos of the week!

Of course! I don’t really care about the date, as long as every image is only submitted once. (Also if you could just pick one photo next time that would be great :) Sorry!)

For this to be the first record on iNat, had to hike off road and climb some rough cliffs to find this small flower.
Worth it :heart:

How and where (geographically) do you get underwater photos like that? Do you have a special underwater camera?

I would love to try underwater photography while snorkeling, but I can never seem to find many fishes or coral reef organisms where I snorkel. I went to the gulf side of southernish Florida, and there was nothing but sandy ocean bottoms.

Would I need to travel further out on a boat or something?

Sorry if that’s a lot of questions… :grimacing:

I have bought a used Olympus TG6 3 years ago and then I thought I’ll take it with me to the beach in Málaga/ Spain (in the middle of town). There are some stone-walls into the water (I don’t know the correct word) and there I find all sorts of creatures. Fascinating! I was probably just breast-deep in the water.
I think any kind of rocks and stones, even harbour constructions probably have the most variety.
Sandy ocean bottoms don’t have so many species, but this was a lifer: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/285739264

Wow. I don’t think I’ll be going to Spain any time soon, but I might think about the camera. Thanks!

I bet Florida is at least as species rich as the boring Mediterranean. I just checked: 805 species of fish and 100 species of sea slugs (Nudibranchia) in Florida - compared to 220 fish and 77 sea slugs in Andalucía.
