Very nice!
Did the octopus ever come out any more? It's rare to even see that much during the day.
I think my fav are the pelicanos.

I aspire to half the photographer that you are! Seven kinds of awesome. You must have a "way" with turtles. He's posed so well for you in the last photo.
Keep the posts coming. I'll never tire of your pictures!

How cool is that pic of the eagle ray? Just amazing.
Jan, I don't know how you do it, going to the dog rescue place. I'd have to take a roll of duct tape for my broken heart and at least two boxes of Kleenex. I've sent money, but I just can't face the eyes of those darling dogs when I'd have to say good-bye. Kudos
You know, I've been supporting Ricardo since before he opened TdA...I work closely with Lisa and him now on the Toronto front to get dogs escorts, transport, etc. I think in the past 6 months alone, I've given..........a lot of money... because it's something I believe in and nobody works better, or harder for those dogs than he does. It's amazing, and if anyone is a dog lover and wants to visit, please do! It was an hour and a half straight driving from Akumal. My mother passed away in mid December and on her behalf, the very next day, I made donations to my own local humane society, TdA, Coco's Cat Rescue, Cozumel Human Society, Akumal Library, Sick kids hospital and Ronald McDonald house. Animals and H.S.'s were very important to her, and it was done with her remembrance and love....so fulfilling to me as her daughter to be able to do that.
Enough.....
Okay more pictures coming up (and OH...I have 15 pics of that beautiful Eagle Ray! It was a brand new camera and I didn't know how to turn on the video, or I would have had video too....such a gift to witness him feeding close up!!)
Enjoy these, while I put more directly in the thread...

Thanks so much for your comments...I LOVE taking pics and I LOVE looking at them, so basically I take them, because it makes me happy. (Oh, and I just acquired camera #5 because it's got a GREAT ZOOM on it. Had to have it..sheesh, might as well say I'm 'collecting' them?
I spotted this conch shell and we weren't sure if it was 'vacant' or not...
Apparently it's a HOME, so we turned it right back over. No harm, no foul...carry on living the good life!
This time out....I spotted TWO BARRACUDAS! ....got lots of pics...and he was a BIGGUN!....mas...
One....BIG....single squid! I just LOVE them, they're so curious!....
He decided I wasn't a threat, and he wasn't angry at me anymore!
This was the night we got there! Badger, DirkTx and Jeanie, Kingfisher and Karen, Soleil Sol and Vandog - Happy Hour at Lol Ha
Lionfish Hunter - Gynna, Laura, Natalie and Ivan, Gynna's mom, and I don't know the other 2 guys....
Paamul, especially the ramp at the dive shop, is LOADED WITH IGGIES!!!!!
NOT CROPPED! This guy wasn't scared and wasn't moving...though I DID zoom in! lol
Uno, dos, tres!
PAAMUL BAY............LOVED IT! CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!
This should be MY PLACE...I WANT IT!!
You can come for the day, use the pool and the palapas and chairs for FREE. All are welcome! (The restaurant isn't bad either) 
This is dawn - about 30 minutes BEFORE the sun comes up....
(I'm standing on the patio!)
Getting there.....
(playing with the filters)
here it comes!
Colours of the dawn were much more vibrant....
last one....
I lied...uno mas....
Thanks for the indulgence..............I have SO MANY MORE PICS.............if ya want to see them, I'll post links, but this is enough for now!
