  1. Seriously, still an awesome capture as well as ID work. Posted one year ago
    1. Thanks. They look like miniature, sparkly galaxies. I didn't even see them when I took the photo, but was just taking photos of the tide pools so that I could zoom in at home to see what was there. Posted one year ago
      1. That's a really clever strategy! Posted one year ago
        1. Thanks, lol. It's all I could figure to do at this spot because of the waves making it so hard to see through the water to what's underneath. I am so in awe of the ocean. There is so much life in there and no space in the tide pools is wasted. Posted one year ago
