My cousin, Cindy Ballard, her husband Danny, and her daughter Ceresa live in Paamul, Quintana Roo, Mexico. They have been diving for many years. I’ve always been a little jealous when she posts pictures of her dives on Facebook. I decided it would be fun to share her photography on my blog when she posted her lastest pictures a few days ago. So I asked her permission to share her photography of her latest dive. I don’t know the names of the sea animals and fish, but if you do please comment and let me know.
I'm a married retired nurse living on beautiful Lake Palestine in the East Texas piney woods. I seek to deepen my walk with the Lord. I have 5 dogs and two pair of Mandarin ducks, one male and two female Wood ducks. They are all a source of great pleasure. I love growing vegetables, fruits and florals.
I spent the first 26 years of my life in the Houston area. The concrete and traffic took its toll and I moved to East Texas and have lived a rural existence since.
I have always written as a means of expression throughout my life since I was in elementary school. It is something I've always had to do. My brain just works that way. It travels all the time, by land or sea or air it's always traveling.

Amazing sea life photos. Glad your cousin let you share them.
Yes, it was nice of her. She posts them on FB every once in awhile. I told her I’d love to share them on wordpress and she was glad to let me. I’m a little jealous that she and her husband can do that kind of thing. I’m afraid I’d never be good at diving.
Thanks Roland. I’m a little jealous of my cousin. She is only about 5 years younger than me, but I don’t think I’d have the energy she and her husband have for diving.
The sharky looking one is a Lamprey –see the flat patch on top of it’s head, that is where it attaches itself to a Manta Ray or large sharks. Great pics, thanks for sharing.
