Low Tide

Just to get a little idea of what's below that pretty blue blanket of water...the closer we got, the more amazed we were!
The round thing in the middle was actually opening & closing. Is it a sea cucumber, or what?

Gobs of muscles & Lots of starfish!
Another starfish & look at the little fishes in the puddle!
Check out the size of these muscles compared to my sunglasses!  What a cool find this was for us.  Timing is everything, right?

  1. These sea creatures look crazy !
    Am I River Water Or Sea Water?
    Are you calm or readily excitable?

  3. Oh, you are so lucky to be there. I've never been to Oregon, but I miss the California coast and the rocks covered with mussels and starfish everywhere. Though never so big as that one!

  4. My geography lessons are keeping pace with your exploring. I now know where Pacific City is and I've learned a bit more about the geography of Oregon. The more you travel the more I learn! Great sea-life shots by the way.
