Never saw this kind of coloured fishes in this part of the Mediterranean Seaā€¦until this yearā€¦ and the snorkelling got so really interesting that I spend not less than one hour in the water looking for them with my :diving_mask::grin:
There are way more female specimen than male ones over hereā€¦and the male ones have the more vivid and bright colours :heart_eyes: theyā€™re just so wonderful!
This morning I was feeling a bit hopeless already as I couldnā€™t find them, when I saw two females, then another one so I stopped there and another couple came swimming thereā€¦so I thought to myself ā€œif it works only a tiny bit like in the human species the male is gonna be here in no time!ā€ :rofl::rofl::rofl:
In factā€¦not one but two of them showed up soonā€¦hahahaā€¦

Very pretty fish, Silvia :tropical_fish: Soā€¦ the water has been getting warmer and the fish have migrated there?

@roger_holland Silvia is clearly speaking of fish, Rogier :nerd_face: What??? Itā€™s so hot in the Netherlands as well? I want some of that summer weather. Itā€™s so unpleasantly unsummerly here at the momentā€¦

It is currently a weather warning in a number of provinces, now 32.4 on my meter(33.5 lower in holland)ā€¦ I will ask Silvia to take a few of those beautiful fish in a container and release them here if she ever come to this side in Europe, the land here and sea is warming up faster and faster ,so ā€¦next year??? :grimacing:

Greetings and I wanted to say, go swim with the fish again Silvia :sunglasses:, but thatā€™s not such a nice comment when I think back to some old films with Italians :roll_eyes:

Nice snorkeling and fish watching ,have fun :sunglasses:

Hey @Silvia80 ! Very pretty fish and fish story, but isnā€™t this forum supposed to be about guitar? Someone must bring this post back within the rules, so hereā€™s a relevant guitar song about fish.

Formalities first Michael @mfeeney0110 :slightly_smiling_face: There you goā€¦ a song with fishies and fishing people.

@roger_holland The water will hopefully not warm up THAT fastā€¦ Otherwise @Silvia80 will have to bring those guys here where they will turn into colourful frozen fish in winterā€¦ah, yes, I can offer crisp 17C and thatā€™s warm compared to the 13 C in the morningā€¦

Arrived in Brittany yesterday.
Played an open mic on the campsite last night :open_mouth:
Went on a walk todayā€¦ used my umbrella as a paraplui this morning and as a parasol this afternoon :grinning:
What song does this refer to?

@brianlarsen I hope the open mic was fun

As to your questionā€¦this one of course: Come rain or shine :sun_behind_rain_cloud:

Hi Sylvia!
Isnā€™t snorkeling just too much fun???!!!???
Nice pics you capturedā€¦ really good clarity & colorful!!!

Since some of us are trying to push this topic back towards music, I think a fish song about fish and not catching & possibly eating the poor creatures would be appropriate!!! Also, this may appeal to the teacher in you!!!

Have fun & keep smiling that lovely smile of yours!!!

P.S. I saw a quote at my dentistā€™s office the other day that resonated with me:

ā€œUse your smile to Change the World; Donā€™t let the World Change your Smile!ā€

I did some more proper snorkelling for the first time earlier this year and I just love it! Some nice fish you found there well done! Whereabouts at Mediterranean Sea did you snorkel?

I screenshoot from the Internet :grimacing: but I can assure you the colours are these bright when the water is clear with the sun. The colours change, especially for the female species, when they swim behind a rock in the shade.

Rogierā€¦Nicole is rightā€¦I was referring to the fishes :joy: Glad my bad joke made you smile as it was supposed to :joy:

:thinking::question::interrobang:ā€¦but yes Iā€™ll go, thank you Rogier :hugs:

It gets about 36C here and at night about 28C :fearful: but weā€™re lucky we replaced the broken air-conditioning, last summer was a bit tough without one, and we can sleep well at night!

Hi Silvia,
