To the right of Napili Beach there are #tidepools to be explored.

The image shows the inside of a cave carved out by the ocean waves. There are three openings: one straight ahead which goes out to the open sea, one to the left that goes to the beach and tide pools, and one above that goes to the top of the rock bluff. The rocks on the floor are covered with pink slime while the rocks above are illuminated with golden sunlight. This is at Coon Creek Beach inside Montana De Oro State Park, Los Osos, California. You can only access this cave at low tide, and when they have this section of the park open.

Low tide on the Oregon coast last week - the seastars were abundant!

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
