Kitch-iti-kipi means "Big Cold Water" and is the Native American name for Michigan's largest freshwater spring. The spring is in Michigan's Upper Peninsula near Manistique and Lake Michigan and is part of Palm Book State Park. The spring is an oval pool measuring 300 by 175 feet (91 m × 53 m) and is about 40 feet (12 m) deep with an emerald green bottom. Ten thousand gallons of water a minute flow into the spring. The spring is best seen from on observation raft which i forgot to photograph, but all of the photos were taken from the raft. The inset photos include another photo of the tree-lined edge of the pond, a photo of the bottom of the spring and the trout that live in the spring, and two photos that show the turquoise color of the water and the dead trees that have fallen into the edges of the spring.

This is the edge of Kitch-iti-kipi with its turquoise water, sheer sides and dead trees that have fallen into the edges of the spring.

These are the Pupfish found in Longstreet Spring in Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge. Each spring has its own species of Pupfish, all tiny fish about 4 cm in length. The photo is not the best but trying to photograph these fish was a near impossible job.

On our last day in Port Douglas and before traveling to Brisbane we went snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. We took a catamaran cruise out of Port Douglas to Low Island and snorkeled off the island. I rented a small underwater camera and though it was difficult to operate and did not keep its charge long (lesson learned: don't rent the cameras they have on the boat), we did manage to get some decent photos of the coral and the fish. I have not identified either fish or coral, but the snorkeling was one of the high points of the trip. Low Island is part of the inner reef and has not been seriously affected by the bleaching that is destroying much of the outer reef.

In Explore November 12, 2009, #305. This was a new venture for me. While away on business this week, I stayed with my daughter and son-in-law. They keep tropical fish and I spent some spare time trying to photograph the fish in their tank, a more difficult job than I would have thought. This is one of the fish in the largest tank and I believe I have the name correct.

In Explore November 15, 2009, #160. This is another effort at photographing the fish in my son-in-law's aquarium. I found the whole process very difficult indeed and am not really very confident of the results.

A picture I took last year when trying to photograph the fish in my son-in-law's aquariums. Was disappointed with this shot in that all the fish were not in focus.
