Found Things and Critters at the Beach

Although I cannot name nearly anything we saw at the beach at low tide, it was all interesting. These bits of sea plants make interest compositions.



Some sort of mollusc lies open, apparently with a mouth full of seaweed, in the noon-day sun.

I suspect that this is some sort of starfish lurking among the rocks hoping (can a starfish hope?) to dry out before the next high tide.

These barnacles have made their home on rocks that are part of the jetty. We are now more than a meter below the customary water level and two or three meters below the walkway on the jetty.

Back up on the usual shoreline where the dry sand sits, there is lots of bits of bleached wood to see.

Some even forms nice abstract patterns for me to photograph.

Someday in the future, when we are all able to safely travel, Come for a visit and I'll take you to this stretch of coastline to watch the Kingston ferry come and go and ponder the life under the Puget Sound.
