Mad Clown

I’ve been occupied with holiday-type stuff over the last week, visiting with friends who’ve come to town, etc., and I haven’t been doing much posting.  (Well, actually, none.)

So in lieu of the clever essay I intended to write, please enjoy this photo of an anemone fish, or clownfish, defending its home.  These little guys, only a couple inches long, can be very aggressive, and sometimes they bite hard enough to drawn blood.

I find them pretty hilarious, actually, and their antics are always good for livening up a dull dive.

This one looks like a gunfighter in a Sergio Leone Western, glaring at the invader in the frozen moment just before slapping leather.
