It is MisterMan's first day of summer school, so I am back to making his lunch bento again after a short hiatus.... vacation is always too short.
Salt and pepper pan-fried snapper with brown & white rice / pearl barley. Tamagoyaki with turmeric, shredded carrot and home-grown green onion. Edamame skewers, parboiled broccoli and peapods, carrot flowers, and radish mushroom (idea from AnnaTheRed). Fruit section has red grapes, blueberries and yellow peach slices. Alas, no more tropical fruit... I'll have to search this weekend for (inferior) lychees in San Francisco....
I have just returned from a diving trip to Tanzania, where I have begun learning underwater photography for the first time - it's a lot harder than it looks!! On the reefs in Chole Bay, there were huge schools of unicornfish, surgeonfish, emperors, soldierfish, snapper, sweetlips, amberjacks and mackerels that you let you swim right up into them - an amazing experience! This was taken on one of the best dive sites - The Pinnacle leading into Kinasi Pass.

Snapper Rocks at Tweed Heads - local Bundjalung Aboriginal man celebrates his proud indigenous heritage by blessing the surf by playing his didgeridoo while overlooking the crashing waves that sweep over the rocky coastline.
A entry point for surfer to surf Snapper Rocks. (there are safer places to enter the water and this is for the brave and expearience.
This was snapped on the shores of Snapper Rocks at dusk. I loved the shape and textures of the rocks there although I'd highly recommend wearing some thongs/slops or what ever slang we call beach footwear to protect your feet from these sharp guys :-)
Once upon a time, Snapper Rocks was a fairly average Gold Coast point break living in the shadow of it's world famous cousin Kirra. In fact it was better known as a fishing spot (hence the name) than it was as a surf break. However, in April 1995 the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project began pumping sand out of the river mouth and dumping it just east of Snapper Rocks. Before long a super sand bank had formed in Rainbow Bay and once the swells started hitting, local surfers realised they had one of the world's longest, and most consistent point breaks on their doorstep.
After a nice shoot at the local wildlife sanctuary, I had the pleasure of witnessing this Momma snapping turtle laying eggs. If you look closely, you can see some eggs dropping into the hole. She's not a pretty girl, but she was doing a beautiful thing.
I nearly didn't see this medium sized snapping turtle partially submerged in a mud puddle - on his way somewhere as 10 minutes later, he was gone. Hampton, NJ
these two snapping turtles used to be at the RRNC pond....have no idea why they trapped and moved them to big met but now there are three big snappers competing for food there....it's to bad they don't eat friggin' beavers
I have just returned from a diving trip to Tanzania, where I have begun learning underwater photography for the first time - it's a lot harder than it looks!! In Kinasi Pass, a huge channel in Chole Bay, there were enormous schools of snapper, sweetlips, amberjacks and mackerels that you let you swim right up into them - an amazing experience!
