I was lucky enough to chaperone another skorkeling trip out to Julian Rocks in the bay on Wednesday. One of my students took some very nice underwater photos and she was nice enough to share them with me! Unfortunately this time the water wasn't as visible as last time, there was quick a lot of suspended materials in the water. I did get so see some great stuff like a some sea turtles, more leopard sharks, tons of fish and as we got out of the water we saw a 6 foot manta ray! Despite the less than ideal water conditions it was an absolutely beautiful day and I felt very alive. The sun made the Bay and the distant mountains seem surreal and it was really something else, I don't think the pictures do this place any justice!
