Just one photo tonight.
This is a Rockfish (Scorpaena I think) that I photographed in Monterey Bay. I really like that it is so well camouflaged with the surrounding aquatic plants. It was on a pile of large rocks in about 10 foot deep water. It was hidden on the surface of a rock only a few feet below the surface.

These are Mexican Free-Tailed Bats that I photographed Saturday night in Texas. They are about the size of a field mouse, but they fly surprisingly fast. They were really tricky to focus on in the dark. I almost never shoot photos with artificial external lighting, but for these light bats, I used an old off-camera strobe to momentarily light them up. They are really amazing little creatures. I’m surprised that they fly as well as they do.
