Likely, you need some levity too. Caption this. I’ll start: Who you calling an airhead? Tanks a lot. _________ I am doing this to stretch out the new neck seal on my old drysuit. 🫠 Struck me as I walked by today how silly it looked. #coldwaterdiver #lifeofdiver #captionthisphoto #coldwaterwomen

Late to this party. In 2020, a nudibranch was named in honour of Dr. Sylvia Earle. See more in my blog about Cadlina luteomarginata now being at least 4 “yellow-margin dorid” species. themarinedetective.com/2025/02/23/n... #sylviaearle #nudibranch #SeaSlug #MarineBiology

Sand-Rose Anemone to 1 m across - Urticina columbiana. I've seen this one here for a LONG time. I dug back through my photos and say carefully, since at least 2007. Anemones 18+ years old? Yes Photo Feb 9 in the Traditional Territory of the Kwakiutl. #DoseOfDepth #MarineBiology #Anemone

Life-force. Pacific Herring. Silver strands of life connecting land to ocean. Past to future. Of so many photos, this is one of mine that I have on my wall. I found myself staring at it while listening to the news. I realized there was moisture in my eyes. See comments. __________

Not snowflakes. Animal colony! Species of "Coral Bryozoan" (Tubulipora spp), each colony is up to 2.5 cm across and grows on kelp. Each little tube-like structure you see is an individual animal. Photo: Dec 31, 2024, Malcolm Island #DailyDoseOfDepth for you! #Bryozoa #MarineBiology

Time to embrace February (and BlueSky) and flip the page on your WILD Calendar. It's my monthly opportunity to thank all of you who send these calendars far and wide to increase awareness and, maybe, positive action. The image descriptor is in the comments. #Kelp #KelpForest #BullKelp #Kelp
