Low Tide at Lincoln Park


This is my favorite photo from my low tide walk in Lincoln Park today. These are Sculpin eggs. I didn't see a Sculpin, just lots and lots of tiny eggs on seaweed.

One of many SeaStars, looking very vulnerable in the low tide.

Today's mystery: a molt from a crayfish or what?


Here you get the 'big picture' of the low tide.

The sea lettuce in this picture was flecked with a dusting of shiny purple specks; my photo does not do it justice.



An anemone closed up tight waiting for the tide to come back and cover him.

The whole tide thing is so fascinating to me. Turns even adults into curious kids, doesn't it? :)

9.5 more days of school for me, BTW :)

Wonderful photos. Brings back memories of my brief time in Coos Bay. Loved walking on the beach and looking in the little tide pools.
