Mushrooms in Auckland

 

According to Google…close to 9,000 species

of marine life call it

(The Great Barrier Reef)

home…

…and this doesn’t include any of the

huge number of microbes, plankton

and fungi that also live there.

 

The above image was captured in tropical Cairns

is the pick of my images for this week.

Definitely the most colourful fungi

I have ever seen.

sponge

a primitive sedentary aquatic invertebrate
with a soft porous body that is typically supported
by a framework of fibres or calcareous or glassy spicules.
Sponges draw in a current of water to extract
nutrients and oxygen.

After seeing some Google photos of sea sponges…

…I’m beginning to wonder if

the semi-circular(ish) object (top centre)

maybe a sponge and not coral

as previously thought.

In 2012 we visited Cairns…

 

…and the Great Barrier Reef,  and…

…also the Daintree River.

Two years later we visited

Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe

 

in 2016 during a European holiday…

…a visit to the Colosseum was on the agenda.

on the Bay.
