Hello, Mr. Moray... bye, Mr. Moray...
Great to be back here in your blog, Bobbie :)
Now is that his serious face he's showing the camera or is it the demure and seductive one?
Great shot! You've done it again, Bobbie! Happy WW! :)
Wow, very impressive! I've only seen one of these at the aquarium and couldn't get a good shot of it. This one is excellent... as usual. :-)
Wow, what a wonderful capture. Just love this photo, thank you for sharing.
I wouldn't want to see much more of that smile.
Another beautiful image from underneath - great shot!
I look forward to your Watery images.
Every time I see a moray at the aquarium I get the shivers. They are just a bit creepy, even though many have beautiful patterns. That is one creature I wouldn't want to meet in the wild!
Wow! That's huge!! :)
Was that guy as big as he looks in that photo? Scary! He looks a little shocked to see you too. :-)
He is looking at me!
Wants to be my friend I guess!
Beautiful close up!
I think it is the first time that a fish makes me laugh !!
Very nice shot. This guy looks curious, not like the killers they are supposed to be. He needs to hire a new PR firm.
Some fish have very expressive faces. Almost looks like he's smiling.
Now that's a face only a mother could love! Superb shot as ever. Happy WW
Awesome close up. And I couldn't agree more about divers covering themselves. Sadly, I haven't been diving in over 20 years. But I learned about fire coral in Seychelles the hard way.
I don't know if the moray is smiling or not, but it sure looks like it's looking at the camera!
What a great face.
My dd is afraid of these things. They are a little bit creepy, aren't they? Must be The Little Mermaid effect.
Very close-up! He looks like he is smiling.
morays always look intimadating. I love stopping by here each week.
happy ww.
That deceptive grin! - WOW!!
Oh my. I had to chuckle at the "click to enlarge" since I don't think I want to see him any larger! Great capture.
Why would I want to enlarge this????
Scary enough just the way it is.:)
You are a brave woman, my head goes in the water only by accident. I love to swim but head up only. :D
Lovely -- looks like he's auditioning at a screen test.
he has a stunned expression on him don't you think? LOL

That is one ugly fish...and such a close up view. You could have kissed it. I tried to leave a comment yesterday but my computer was being stupid but only with your blog. I thought I would try again today:) Happy WW my friend.
Awesome photo!
WOW! Isn't that dangerous being so close? It looks scary to me!
Thanks for your visit and Happy WW!
