Moss-covered rock tide pools with rocks interspersed. I'm the distance, a wave is curling into the water.
This was very alien planet feeling. Very convenient, since I didn't leave Earth.

Four paintings of tide pools laid out to dry.
A fifth painting in progress also drying.
How dry does a painting need to be before I apply varnish? I'm hesitant because even when it should be dry it feels tacky. (This is acrylic). #ocean #tidepools #painting

🌊 A holdfast anchors sea palms to rocky shores, but unlike roots, it doesn’t absorb nutrients. Its tangled structure creates shelter from crashing waves and predators, providing cozy hiding spots for crabs, snails, barnacles, and even brittle stars.

This sea anemone has the strangest look!

A great blue heron is in the process of taking off across the rocky tide pools of Seal Rock, OR. Ripples flow out from where our friend is lifting a foot out of the water, and its wings are stretched out wide brown seaweed covers the rock in front of the heron, and other rocks in the background have brown and dark green seaweed on them. You can tell it’s a bit foggy on the beach here, but the morning sun was trying to burn it away.
Caught this friend about to take #flight last summer at some #OregonCoast #TidePools. #Februarty #Birds #GreatBlueHeron #LooksLikeADinosaur #PNW #Nature #Photography #GoOutside #Breathe #Notice #Don’tGiveUp
I am sitting here holding a (PB new) copy of #SilentSpring by #RachelCarson in my left hand. I haven't touched this book...and don't ask me why, it's been 30 years.
I hope it's the one where she talks about #tidepools. That really fascinated me.
In Yachats, it isn’t about how much you can see in a day, but what reveals itself when you stop trying to see it all.

Image of shallow tidepool with green anemones, purple urchins, brown turban snails, and other in sundry tide organisms. A poem is overlaid and reads: The Tides Washed Apart As the salty tide mixes with the rocky pool, you came over me, intoxicatingly. A season together, we mingled waters. Our starfish dreams and anemone affection thrived. But all too soon you ebbed back to Japan, pulling your waters away with promises of return flows but emptying my California rocky shore basin all the same. Without you, I watched my patience flow away as well. My emptiness cracking open side crevasses for neighboring pools of water to mingle. When next your force found me, my urchin attachment was diverted locally. Still, we shared lingering feelings and so remixed our waters into a tepid pool. When again you ebbed, I moved to follow. This time, I the tide, I crashed over hoping to sweep into your heart. But I found your hollow already filled And different sea hopes wallowed within Then I knew your old pain and felt my shame Distance and time too rocky, we washed apart.
Sometimes even the best laid plans are washed away. #poem #ecology #marinebiology #tidepools #relationships
The lined shore crab (we believe that’s what this is?) creates foam and bubbles during low tide to keep its breathing apparatus moist. This is the first time we have personally witnesses this phenomenon! So cool!

Oooooh the weather and tides were all aligned today - sun (though still chilly) and low tide! We spent the day playing in winter tidepools…. Bliss!
(Native audio! Enjoy the waves!)
