We've had some nice low tides along Puget Sound. July 5th was about a minus 3.9. Some creatures:
1) Mottled Star (Evasterias troschelii)
2) Ochre Sea Star (Pisaster ochraceus) and Painted Anemone (Urticina grebelnyi)
3) Orange Sea Cucumber (Cucumaria miniata)
4) Northern Kelp Crab (Pugettia producta)

#7DayTale 2023-06 Day 6
Upon the men's #arrival, I was bound, and after they were done with me, left face down in a #tidepool, unconscious. When I awoke, I found fallen trees, crushed shells. The humans were gone. A sinking sun turned the ocean to blood and #rust.

A walk through the park. A scent of apples and moist soil, spiced with a pinch of salt. By the river, ebb reveals an anchor in a #tidepool, #rust conforms with #autumnal colours of trees. Above, #dragon-shaped kites ride on grey clouds.

This little fish, iNaturalist, and WikiPedia conspired to bring me a little joy:
The fish was in a tidepool. I rarely spot fish in tidepools. I don't know them, but I'm pretty sure this one is a common one that I've seen drawn on information signs near tidepools.
Later, at a better advertised tidepool spot I even found such a sign, but it didn't identify the little fish.

I headed out to do a big loop around Sue-meg State Park doing ALL the things. Even tidepooling when the time was right! Oh, there's people in two of these pictures. Can you see them?

The Red Sponge Droid isn't pictured in the last toot because it was a very tiny glob and impossibly hard to photograph out of the water.
Here's an older picture of the Red Sponge Droid, taken last year. It's such a wee tiny thing, smaller than the height of a pinky nail.

I had an amazingly successful #tidepool hunt yesterday. I saw five different species of #nudibranch.
