Heres the photos from this years trip to the lake and ksan.
Mythical west coast creature, the Seawolf. essentially a chimera between a wolf and an orca.
I found a number of different spider species, sadly i was not able to take any photos,
some where brilliantly colored and varied in shape considerably.
A small island i found on the far side of the lake.
There was Many different types of butterflies. many i could not take photos of
because they refused to land so i could take good macro shots.
I found a number of Snakes.
They resemble garter snakes but not like any i have previously seen.
prior to these encounters the garter snakes i seen were green and yellow.
these however, are Solid black with yellow stripes and Red hash marks.
They were also extremely cooperative with me during the photos, behaving more
curious then scared or nervous. maybe these ones seldom encounter humans?
TOAD!
I found this small toadlette standing on the battery casing of my sonar after moving it
off the boat. I have no idea how it got there or when.
was it on board the entire time? who knows.. If it was then it must have been sitting on the sonar screen
for hours durring my excursion to the Hazard buoy several kilometers to the east of the dock location.
i released him in a safe spot near the dock.
I landed near the hazard buoy and did some Underwater photography.
Not much to see here.
Deeper into the lake, the water is Rich in phytoplankton.
Here is a rich ecosystem consisting of many types of algaes and fishes.
again, somewhat obscured by the dense phytoplankton community.
Depth is around 15 feet.
Not to far from the weeds, lie a piece of scrap metal on the bottom over grown in a
species of filamentous and bubble algae, where i found this little guy.
I`m not sure what the species is.
It appears to be some form of sculpin but i`m not certain.
the placement of the eyes originally made me think it was some kind of goby but that couldn't be.
