Hum haven't posted in a while...

Oooo, is there a Lionfish in there? We haven't found any in a while here on St Croix(croy). Seems there were nine or ten caught, over a year's time. Each one was bigger than the last. The very first sightings were one one dive by a tourist that took photos of eight or more, all about three inches long. These were reported, not caught, booo. It's looking like that was an isolated invasion.
.
The Island of Bonaire is having the same thing happen, all of a sudden there are little Lions all over the place. The park people there are doing their best to catch them.
.
In the Bahamas, the Officials didn't realize what a devastating effect these fish have on the population of reef fish, and they dawdled with any attempt at control. There was a Lionfish Rodeo a few months ago on one of the islands, and in one day, 1,400 lionfish were brought in.
.
OK, all for now. I'm designing my studio to be able to paint efficiently, so I'll be an artist someday soon!

Thanks for stopping by!
