I am fascinated by tubeworms and take ridiculous quantities of photos of them. These seasonally appropriate Christmas tree worms retract into their tubes quickly at the slightest disturbance so it's good practice to hover motionless while getting the shot. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans #coralreef

It's shocking, but also not shocking that major news networks haven't done much reporting on the flooding happening right now in the PNW. We have another massive storm coming tomorrow, so power/drainage issues will only get worse. We're lucky to live in a high ground area.
