∴ I made sure to get out for minus tides & found a magical area that gave a fun peak through to some glorious starfish, nudibranchs, & sea anemones. I love getting out to the beaches when the minus tides happen, a lot of the underbelly of the rocks are all exposed showing an abundance of sea life you usually don’t see. This was nudibranch cove though, on the left side of the image, that sea wall had about 10 of them across the whole wall. Then back on the sea rock you mainly see has about 5 more on that rock, I am sure there were many more I could not see. The species I found was a Monterey Dorid, I encourage everyone that is not familiar with them to look that up. Thank you everyone for continuing to follow! I know this app is seeming more dead everyday, I am just going to keep doing me though & sharing my work. Much love. ✌︎ ✧ ∴

∴ There’s something peaceful about watching a Blue Heron delicately walk around the tide pools looking for a morning feast. Slowly inspecting the pools around them, making each step carefully. It’s of something else when you realize you’re experiencing nature unfold in front of you. ∴

Thank you for following. ❤︎

∴ It was the morning of my birthday, & I decided to get out to the tide pools for a morning walk. For the first time in the 4 years I have lived here, I found a Porcelain Crab! Beyond ecstatic I kept investigating the sea wall in front of me, & to my surprise I come across a whole area of baby crabs all snuggled up in the mussels byssus threads until the tide returns staying safe from danger. It was difficult at first to find a crab that wasn’t deep in-between the mussels for my macro to capture it, until I had come across this little beauty who was in an open enough area. ∴

∴ Always has been intriguing to me that creatures in our oceans resembled what we see in our skies at night, though is it the ocean reflecting the sky or the sky reflecting the ocean. We look up at big balls of fire burning thousands of light years away in our skies & see them as stars, looking down we have Sea Star creatures that look like jewels & come in array of magickal colors that cover our ocean floors. We’ve seen Black Holes that burst of colors we never thought could be possible, but are. There is a creature that does this under the cover of the ocean a Sea Anemone, dancing with the waves as they come & go giving off quite a show. To me the center of the anemone is the middle of a Black Hole & the tentacles are the materials that swirls around it. ⁣I’m deeply in love with the colors that came out in this one. ∴ ⁣ ✶⁣Pictured is a Aggregating Anemone ✶⁣
