Wonders In The Deep
The Underwater Photography
of James W Knox
Recent Trips
Scout Key Quarry, Florida 7/9/15
For most people spending, five hours floating in water three to six feet deep,
looking under rocks and in crevaces for tiny forms of marine life would not sound appealing.
For me, it was a wonderful day with scores of unusual sightings.
Hope you enjoy this very different set of photos.
