Sleeping Parrot Fish

Taken at night in Bonaire, Netherland Antilles. They sleep with their eyes open. Sometimes they spin a mucus cocoon around themselves at night which masks their scent from predators.

 

This is a photo of an 8x10 print from a transparency so quality isn't great here. I've been reviewing a lot of our photos trying to decide if we should sell our film cameras and go all digital. Tough choice!
