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!)
Thank YOU for your photos!

A shelf fungus I have yet to ID. Either Stereum or Trametes I belive.
@whistlingduck it’s the end of the week!
Oops! I was at a birding festival all week, and I kinda lost track of time!

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
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…
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.
