Looks like an old adobe house in Mexico. In reality it is a very scenic set of
old houses on the northeast coast of the Island of Bonaire, N. A. near Venezuela.

Unlike the Stripped Burrfish and the BallonFish, the Web Burrfish is rare in the Caribbean.
She is very shy and found in the shallows. Her spines always seem
to be sticking out. Her colors are very brilliant.

The Secretary Blenny looks a lot like the Spinny or Black Head Blenny.
The clear forehead, dots on the top lip and the larger yellow eyes help make
the identification. This “fellow” was in the ¾ inch length range.
His head is smaller then the individual coral polyp!

I have been thinking about trying an Operation Smile trip as a photographer
and have been taking more face pictures.
Chris Crumley was doing one of his mermaid shoots in Bonaire.
The model Monique was laying on the beach all awash in sand and salt water.
Her calm and relaxed demeanor struck me.
I focused on her face and caught a kind of Mona Lisa type smile.
