Vivid Lionfish
I’m late for the challenge this week. I was in Asheville, NC for the wedding of my husband’s nephew – a wonderful celebration in a beautiful place! However, do you really think I could avoid submitting an underwater shot for this challenge? I give you this vivid and flamboyant lionfish shot on the spectacular Lighthouse Reef aboard the Sundancer II. (So enough adjectives for you?)

With that coloring, I bet he can camouflage himself pretty well. And yet be so pretty when the camera is around!

It’s true, Carrie. They can camouflage well because the red color disappears at a depth of around 30 feet! But boy are they vivid with the use of a camera strobe!

I know! They do look like feathers, don’t they? I was thinking the same thing when I posted this. Thanks, Leon!

Vivid! I love the fish and the name of the fish. If I were a fish, I’d want to be a lion fish, but alas, I’m more like Dory in Finding Nemo.

Too funny, Brigitte! I suspect with your red hair and fiery Irish name, you’re more like a lion fish! Hope your summer is going well.

I actually have blonde hair and my name is Brigitte, the French version. I think my cartoon self, drawn at 15 doesn’t show up the blonde strands. In the illustration itself it is woven of brown and blonde strands. Are you a redhead and what kind of fish are you, Cathy? 🙂

I am a redhead, Brigitte. Your question is intriguing! I really don’t know what kind of fish I am. They’re all so fascinating, I’m going to have to ponder this! Hope you’re having a good weekend!
