Semicossyphus Reticulatus
One of the largest species of wrasse found in the Western Pacific Ocean.

Also there’s a sweet story behind this fish tale. The 79 year old diver has been visiting & feeding this Asian sheepshead wrasse for 30 years!

Here’s a link to the story: https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/japanese-diver-makes-friend-with-a-wrasse-fish-25-years/

You can see the ocean from a freeway on the side of the mountains.

A golden lesson from an old man.
A woman arrived in a store wearing clothes that showed her body all too well.
The shop owner, being a wise older man, took a good look at her, asked her to sit down, looked straight into her eyes, and said something she would never forget for the rest of her life.
“Young Lady, everything that God has made valuable in this world, is covered up and hard to see or find."
For example:
Where can you find diamonds?
• In the ground, covered and protected.
Where are the pearls?
• Deep in the ocean, covered and protected in a beautiful shell.
Where can you find gold?
• Underground, covered with layers of rock, and to get there you have to work very hard and dig deep.
He looked at her again and said, "Your body is sacred and unique to God."
You are far more precious than gold, diamonds, and pearls, therefore you must be covered too.
He then added: "If you keep your precious minerals like gold, diamonds, and pearls deeply covered, a “reputable mining organization” with the necessary machines, will work for years to mine those precious goods.
First, they will contact your government (family),
Second, sign professional contracts (marriage),
Third, they will professionally extract those goods, and tenderly refine those precious goods. (marital life).
But
if you let your minerals find themselves on top of the Earth's surface (exposed to everyone), you will always attract many illegal miners to come, exploit, illegally, and freely take those riches and leave you without the precious goods God gave you!
WOMEN, YOU ARE VALUABLE!!
Remember! Class is more desirable.

## What is a River?
A river can be defined as a big, flowing body of water that usually starts from a high place like a mountain and makes its way down to a lower place like a lake or an ocean.

## The River Niger
The River Niger is a very important river in Africa. It is one of the longest rivers on the continent and it flows through several countries, including Guinea, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Benin. It starts in the mountains of Guinea and travels for about 4,180 kilometers (2,600 miles) before reaching the Atlantic Ocean.

The River Niger is not just a source of water, but it also plays a vital role in the lives of the people who live along its banks. It provides water for drinking, farming, and fishing. Many villages and cities are built near the river because it gives people a source of water and helps them grow crops.

The river is also home to many different types of animals and plants. You can find animals like crocodiles, hippos, and different kinds of fish in the River Niger. People use the river for transportation too. They can use boats to travel from one place to another, especially in areas where there are no roads.

One of the most famous landmarks along the River Niger is the Niger River Delta in Nigeria. It's a very important and diverse ecosystem with mangroves, swamps, and a lot of wildlife. The Niger Delta is also known for its oil reserves, which are important for the economy of Nigeria.

## Conclusion
So, the River Niger is not just a river, it's like a lifeline for the people and animals that depend on it. It provides water, food, transportation, and a home for many different living things. It's a fascinating, intriguing and important part of Africa's natural environment.

Do you know what this is, ….that’s a sunfish. Occasionally, you can spot them in the ocean, floating on their sides, soaking up the sun!!! Odd looking fish, but kind of cool!

"Some of us are
bright, happy people
with deeply melancholy,
oceanic souls.
The spectrum of this
is massively wide
with many nuances
and shades of feeling,
both subtle and encompassing.
Swim them all.
This is what living
is about.”

The Aequorea victoria, the oceans Medusa with a life saving secret.

It has a fluorescent protein that revolutionised science.

This discovery lead to huge advancements in the field of medicine making cells, diseases, such as cancer and HIV, visible.

How cancer cells spread, how infections progress, imaging in every plant and animal, we can see only because of this ancient jelly and a protein it had for millions of years which helped it glow to save its own life: https://www.livescience.com/16752-gfp-protein-fluorescent-nih-nigms.html

Beautiful day exploring the ocean in Maui.

Pumpkin got in the ocean today...not by choice lol

She did have her life jacket on though :)

Observe the serenity in stilt fishing against the backdrop of the blue ocean when you visit places like Galle, Ahangama, and Koggala.

Muir Woods National Monument :
Muir Woods is part of California’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area, north of San Francisco. It’s known for its towering old-growth redwood trees. Trails wind among the trees to Cathedral Grove and Bohemian Grove, and along Redwood Creek. The Ben Johnson and Dipsea trails climb a hillside for views of the treetops, the Pacific Ocean and Mount Tamalpais in adjacent Mount Tamalpais State Park.

Finally, a blue day!!! Hot desert and cold ocean make for foggy overcast days. Finally a blue day, hooray!!!

That's a Hawaiian expression. I thought it meant ocean all this time but it actually means land in original tongue.
