Today is a Good Day to Die!

Ok, my choice is that it not be that day, but if it were so, I would feel content that I have lived a good life. It's another beautiful day in the neighborhood! It's gorgeous here in Bali, even when it's pouring down rain. I took this image yesterday afternoon. It often rains heavily later in the day. Today we experienced another awesome snorkeling trip out to Menjangan Island. Snorkeling off the island is literally like swimming in a humongous tropical fish aquarium. Again, such a variety of brilliantly colored fish and various types of coral on the reef. Many of the fish are swimming along in schools. There are also unusual to my experience, periwinkle blue sea stars that cling to the surface of coral in great numbers. Schools of small silver fish with hundreds in the group flutter about like snowflakes in the air on a cold winter's day. Snorkeling is oh--so much fun here! I just love it! Why creatures ever left the sea is beyond my wildest dreams. It is so much better below the surface than on dry land. At the very end of our dive we saw a huge transparent jelly fish about the size of a large mixing bowl undulating along with determination. Of course, since we don't have an underwater camera, we only have our memories to share.
