I posted an article showing Terramar Beach in Carlsbad California during high tide. Now I would like to show you what was under that high tide. Here are the tide pools I mentioned in the other article. This area is nicknamed Carlsbad Tide Pools.
Our sand is a mix of gold and pyrite.
In the distance you can see the bluffs we sit on when the tide is high.
It is so pretty here. A lot of people come to check out the pools left behind.
Here is what they look like up close.
The water is very clear.
I didn’t notice that there was a pearl in the shell here. Until I got home that is..
This shell was such a pretty pink! With the pink plant too.
These are Sea Anemonies.
A sea anemone is a sessile polyp attached at the bottom to the surface beneath it by an adhesive foot, called a basal disc, with a column-shaped body ending in an oral disc. Most are from 1.8 to 3 cm (0.71 to 1.18 in) in diameter, but anemones as small as 4 mm (0.16 in) or as large as nearly 2 m (6.6 ft) are known. They can have from a few tens to a few hundred tentacles. They come in a variety of colors.
I will end this with a dog head shaped rock. I think it looks like Pluto.
Enjoy!
