I never tire of these beautiful, mystical creatures.

With my recent increased level of diving Rapid Bay I have become familiar with a pair of Leafy Seadragons, one with eggs and I assume the other its female partner. Conditions for photography over the last few weeks have been really bad with surgy, turbid water but at least I can extract a few decent images by getting as close as possible with macro photography.

This dragon is my most recent find and her portrait just beautiful.
