What Is My Name ? Part 2
Most of the fish were named in the last blog. There was some question as to the name of one smaller group but those were not the main fish within the photo. So right now.. I am still checking on if the small fish in the second photo with the Squirrelfish were grunt or wrasses. It seems however that both names are for a large group of small fish so I am searching for a photo of my little fish online within both groups. I really dont know what the little darlings are called and was told by someone on the island that all the small willow shape like fish were Wrasses. I did see some of those cleaning the bigger fish as I was also told they would do.. so I kind of leaned toward calling them - Wrasses, the general name for the whole group. Wish I could find a photo of my little fish so I could nail down that name! However.. the other items were all named as --- 1. Termite nest and there is a paper wasp nest on the lower right hand side It was those of which I was keeping my distance as I have a rather strong reaction should one sting me. 2. Squirrelfish, Long-spined sea urchin, Unknown small fish (grunt? or Wrasses?) 3. Great barracuda 4. Reef squid 5. French angelfish -I was told this was the Gray Angelfish. This photo also has at least two Juveniles bluehead wrasses swimming along side it. Saw a clip on Youtube to ID those. 6. Needlefish seems to be also called Trumpet fish ?? 7. Octopus 8. Snake eel -- was told this was a Spotted Moray Eel 9. Peacock flounder - Those darlings can change color btw 10. Blue tang 11. Hawksbill sea turtle 12. Cushion sea star - this one seems to be called Caribbean Starfish Thank you to dewpoint for her input! Below are a new set of photos.. Can you name the critters? Keep in mind you may click on the photos to be taken to flickr where you can find links above the photos for larger sizes - "all sizes" Number ONE B - While most fish had like two sides to their body, this one seem to have three. the bottom part was a bit flat area so if you looked at this one face on.. the body would be more like that of a triangle. I was not able to get a photo of the thick bottom part of this fish.  Number TWO B - Those little yellow striped fish with the interesting markings were about the size of my hand. I did not see many of those but they seem to hide under the rocks and coral. I had to float very still in order to even get this photo of this small school. They were very shy.  Number THREE B - I have two views of this fish. It was sitting very still along the rocks and I almost did not see it at first. It was about a hand span and half in length. View one -  View two -  Number FOUR B - Small fish which were about a finger in length with the two dark stripes along the body. For extra, name the coral behind the fish which is damaged. Many people do not know that even the smallest touch can injure and kill the coral and always you should use extreme care and not touch them.  Number FIVE B - This fish was about the size of a dinner plate. Seem to be aware of me and followed me around.. or one of it's family on this day was always trailing me. I am glad it was not any bigger! But I did wonder about the type of teeth it might have? Each time when I turned back and faced it, the fish would dart away a bit of distance.  Number SIX B - This photo has two kinds of small fish, both about the size of my hand. One has the pattern of dots along the body while the others have just one stripe.  Number SEVEN B - Those guys seem to love to be only in schools. The color is not as good as I would like cause they would quickly swim away from me when I tried to get closer. The top part of the body was like air bushed in yellow with the bar marks over most of the body but for the face and lower part. The rest of the body was of a pale white or silver color.  Number EIGHT B - I felt this fish had the most oddest color. As if somebody took this fish and painted it those reds, blues and green colors just for fun. I found those fish were nipping at the coral and if you watched, you could hear the sharp little popping noise as it took the bites. I would guess it has some rather sharp teeth to be eating on the coral. Do take the time to download the original size of this photo to see the detail of those wild colors.  Number NINE B - This was taken when I was in some rather deep water so the color is not as good as it would had been in the shallow parts. I think however you can ID this just from the body shape alone. This fellow was about the length of my arm.  Number TEN B - Not a fish but part of the coral life. Can you name this? I so wanted to touch the surface as I found it rather interesting but after seeing so much of this dead and white bone, I kept my hands and fins far away from it. It seem to have a bumpy like surface much like the starfish. The size of this from the closest part to me to the other side away.. was OVER the length of five feet wide.  Number ELEVEN B - One land item here.. name this flower - When it bloom, it only lasted ONE day and then folded away. It was best viewed in the early morning hours as it started to fade as the sun got around 2 pm in the early afternoon.  Number TWELVE B - Also a land critter and I know it is a lizard but can you name what kind it is? Pretty cool to view in the larger size on Flickr. so enjoy! 
What Is My Name ? Time for the new blog and this one will have photos of some of the things I have seen in and around St. John.Can you name the different items? In some cases you will be asked to name the HOME of where the critter is living within such as the very first photo of something I found in a tree. Now there are two nest of something there but most will only spot the larger one.I will put the your name/nick beside each photo which you ID within my blog. You...
I planned to post updates of our trip in my blog but....The Internet has been down more than up but tonight, was able to upload some photos. After almost a week but finally I am now able to share a few photos with you all. I do hope you enjoyed as I do wish you all could be here with me. Maybe one or two of you might could drop in for a visit?So I am no longer in Mississippi and I have not yet made it to the Redwoods. Maybe that will happen next year. Instead this s...
OK! I am SO looking forward to this next week because I am heading OUT of my little town in Mississippi to a bit of land somewhere south of me. My Game Plan is to take photos of the area and up load them up to let you guess just where I am at? What do you think? Would that be a bit of fun? So, if the Internet works on this small spot and I am able to upload... and take photos.. Anyrate, I am not going to share, just yet, where I am going.Oh Gee! Maybe I should say ...
With a hug and love to all,As we travel about this holiday period and down the roads of time, BE SAFE. Take heart and what is OURS and the color of OUR FREEDOM, Thanks to those who keep the flag waving over the land of the Free.Below is a photo of one of those who do the duty to our land. keeping the fires of freedom alive and the flowers of freedom growing, sometimes even with their blood.
