Negril, Jamaica.

- Many people jump off the 27 feet cliff and swim in the beautiful clear Carribean ocean water at Rick's Cafe. Negril is located on the west end of Jamaica.

- Beaucoup de gens sautent de cette falaise de 8 mètres pour se baigner dans la belle eau claire de la Mer des Caraïbes au Rick's Cafe. Negril est situé à l'extrémité ouest de la Jamaïque.

I caught this Osprey hovering just before it initiated the dive but despite my anticipation, I misjudged its incredible speed as it accelerated toward the water and so missed the moment of contact. Small consolation, it missed the fish. Sometimes, that's the way it goes on Horsepen Bayou.

Pelican diving on fish at low tide in the harbor at Moss Landing. I was driving along when I saw lots of pelicans diving, so I whipped my Jeep off the road and started shooting.

On our last night in Longboat Key, Florida, we just grabbed our cameras and walked down the beach. We had so much fun taking pictures of these Brown Pelicans fishing.

Diving

Pied-billed Grebs have three methods they can use for diving. They can escape danger by “crash-diving”—plunging with head and tail raised above the belly, making a splash. They can also dive head first, or simply sink quietly out of view, leaving no trace (Cornell).

Photographed at Fruit Growers Reservoir, Western Slope, Colorado.

A day out photographing Kingfishers. Weather was nice but light variable.

Another dive from one of the 2 male Kingfishers that were visiting this spot.

Here are Darlene and I helmet diving a few miles off the coast of Somerset, Bermuda. The hog fish (Lachnolaimus maximus) is Charles. Hog fish are sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they change gender during their life.

I know I've already shared a bunch of Pelican pics, but this one turned out well, so I thought I'd share it too.

DST starts at 02:00 tomorrow (which instantly becomes 03:00).

Magical ;-)

This picture of my wife was taken from our boat during our holidays in Croatia.

Another picture a her before a dive can be found here.

If you like french food and have some French knowledge of, you'll find some nice recipes and cooking tips on her blog :-)

Aroca Tikia Marine Cave

The Diving Bell, designed by Bindon Blood Stoney (1828 to 1907) , lovingly restored & recently refurbished, stands proudly illuminating Sir John Rogersons Quay, a remarkable feet of engineering during the Victorian era & used extensively in Dublin Port excavating the seabed.

Its only right that it now stands tall on Sir John Rogerson's Quay, which was constructed under the supervision of Bindon Blood Stoney, along with O'Connell Bridge.

This brown pelican was diving very fast. Is it blue shift, or is it sliding? You be the judge.

Cabo Verde / Ilha do Sal

I could fall or I could fly

Here in your aeroplane

And I could live, I could die

Hanging on the words you say

And I've been known to give my all

And jumping in harder than

Ten thousand rocks on the lake

So don't call me baby

Unless you mean it

Don't tell me you need me

If you don't believe it

So let me know the truth

Before I dive right into you

Still got a few shots of this falcon to post so posting 3 today I just got this guy in the far corner but liked it too much even though its out of frame I think it works I have removed Jesses & transmitter in all these shots

I would just like to say why do people act like sheep on here ok if you don't like this shot fair enough each to their own I see so many images on here that are quite frankly awful yet they get lots of comments faves ..that doesn't bother me really but if a person sees a shot not getting comments or faves then most people copy that yes this is out of frame but its a great shot and works in a artistic crop there has been award winning shots that are only just in frame sorry I had to say that if you don't like it please unfollow me.

Well the light was simply terrible but I kind of think this works. This Great Crested Grebe was just in the act of diving for its dinner as I snapped so what with the light and its speed as it entered the water....... I leave it up to you. I know it is grainy but I like it.
