Purple and Orange are friends! Two ochre sea stars (Pisaster ochraceus) are holding hands while waiting for the tide to roll in. Same species, different colors. I found this cute couple at Rialto Beach of Olympic National Park, one of my favorite places in the world.

A sea star clinging to the piling beneath our dock. “Sea star wasting syndrome” decimated the West Coast population several years ago; we’re happy to see these beautiful animals return to Aquatic Park!

A sea star was starting to dig its way out of the sand. It’s been a tough couple of days with the king tides. #SeaStars #LowTide #KingTides

#barnacles #beach #seastars #tidepools #crabs #anenome Anyone interested in talking about tips/tricks and the fun of filming #wildlife? I’ve started with beaches/tidepools of the Pacific Northwest (Oregon/USA). Been at it for 3 months now. Still learning. Thanks. https://youtube.com/@asthecrowwalks
