🦐 Last week I got so bored of waiting for the wind and swell to subside, I immersed myself in the churned up shallows and in tidal pools to get my fix!
Critters were hard to come by but i was pleased with my captures nonetheless!

Rocks and Tidal Pools, Star Island, Rye, NH. July 2004. #Rocks #TidalPools #StarIsland #Seacoast #Rye #NH #EastCoastKin
"A snowy egret moves through a tidal pool with quiet, deliberate grace. Its slender white body gleams against the muted tones of sand and water, feathers soft and luminous in the morning light. One long, black leg is lifted mid-step, while the other disturbs the still surface, sending gentle ripples outward—a wake that marks its passage like a brushstroke on glass. The egret’s beak is open, sharp and black with a red-orange base, as if caught mid-call or mid-breath. There is no fish—only the suggestion of intent, a moment suspended between action and stillness. Its head is slightly tilted, eyes focused, perhaps scanning the shallows or reacting to a distant sound. The water mirrors its form, doubling the elegance in reflection. Around it, the tidal pool is calm and shallow, bordered by sand that fades into the background. The scene feels hushed, reverent—like a sacred pause in the rhythm of the morning. The egret leaves behind not just ripples, but a signature of presence and purpose." - Microsoft Copilot

A serene late afternoon beach scene at low tide on the South Carolina coast. The wet sand creates a mirror-like surface reflecting the sky and a tall beige high-rise condominium building that stands prominently on the left side of the frame. The shallow tidal pools spread across the wide beach create stunning reflections in shades of blue and gold from the sky above. In the distance, gentle waves from the Atlantic Ocean meet the shore, while additional buildings are visible along the distant shoreline to the right. Wispy clouds dot a gradient sky that transitions from deeper blue at the top to softer turquoise tones near the horizon, capturing the golden hour light just before sunset.

While searching tidal pools in Washington state, I found a beach with dozens and dozens of purple and red colored starfish, as the water level ceded.

Scrambling down to the ocean at low tide, can reward you with all kinds of visual gifts. Tidal pools reward you with creatures, plants, moss, and some of the most amazing colors.
I call this one Escape Hatch.

A bald eagle stands alone on a wet, dark sand beach with shallow tidal pools reflecting the blue sky. Behind it, gentle waves roll in from the ocean, and the horizon stretches under a soft, cloud-dappled sky. The eagle’s white head and yellow beak contrast sharply with its dark brown body, creating a striking image of wilderness and solitude.

"The image captures a tranquil coastal scene, featuring tidal pools and sandbars that create mesmerizing horizontal lines across the landscape. The shallow pools of water nestled between the sandbars reflect the sky, adding to the serenity of the scene. A shorebird stands in one of the tidal pools at the center, offering a focal point and a sense of scale. The background reveals a calm expanse of water, which could be an ocean or a large lake, completing the picture of natural beauty. The image is signed "Swede's Photographs" in the bottom right corner." - Copilot

A few more pics from our recent coast getaway…I almost can’t absorb all the beauty we get to witness.

It was a star-studded extravaganza yesterday in the tidal pools at the Oregon coast (starfish/seastars, that is). A low, low tide highlighted all of these glamorous creatures. Bliss!

1/23/2025 3:27pm intertidal zone rock outcrop has a tidal pool. Air temp is 29 F with Feels Like 15 F, and water temp is probably around 40 F. Seaweeds and algae are growing under the January sun. Blue muscle are visible in spots.
New England coastal tide pool; not much activity in winter but there is life.

Tidal pool located above the mean high water line. Temps are in the 20’s F. Mixture of sea water and rain water tidal pool frozen solid with sea lettuce (algae) locked in place. Tiny air bubbles proliferate the ice sheet from the algae growing below.

The slide of my 3min presentation entitled "Rocky Tidal Pools - Carbonate chemistry, diurnal variability and calcifying organisms in future CO2 conditions". It shows coastal variability (lack of observation and understanding - seldom integrated in predictive climate models), what tidal pools are and what tidal pool variability is in pH, with and without artificially added CO2. And how this relate to the net calcification rate in the community.
Should I have submitted my #vEGU21 presentation to @EGU_BioGeo instead of @EGU_Ocean session 🤨?
Maybe. Or not.
Anyway. I talked for 2 minutes about #biogeochemistry of #tidalpools. My display material : meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/EGU21-...
Feel free to start a discussion here !
