Friday Nudibranch Blogging


Crouching on the summit, Hypselodoris krakatoa dreams,
Petrifying with its abyss-gaze
The magus used to wondrous flights,
The studious group of pale Zoroastrians,
Sun-gazers and scanners of the stars,
The dazzled, the astounded.

I swear to any god there is, I love nudibranches more than I love cats. And that's saying a lot. This one is beautiful, hell, they all are.

Of course, the nudibranchs don't know what they look like, or give a shit. They require us to appreciate them.
