Continuing my post from our weekend trip to San Diego (please see one post down) here are some photos of the tidepools at Cabrillo National Monument.
Although it was not a negative low tide, we still could see a few sea creatures.
You see some rose colored coralline algae and some rock reflections.
These barnacles clinging to the rocks are a little bit dry.
A close up of the shell
I see life in this seaweed
A lone seagull wading, but there were plenty of them flying around
I caught this in flight gull, flying away from me!

Oh Ebie, that sea weed picture is another very special one, the composition is so beautiful, it is so striking, and yes, full of life.

of course, love all the others too.
yeah, I do usually bring spare battery with me, but whenever we are in for some city walk (not really hiking), I tend to not bring backpack but just ladies bag, therefore, I forget to transfer the spare battery which usually is in my backpack! Haaay, maybe I should forget about wearing ladies bags now, with a dslr, ladies bag anyway are not comfortable as backpack, I wonder sometimes why I even use ladies bag! Hmp!

Just like Ewok you also itched me to go to the rocky beaches and look for these tide pools. Last time i saw two butterfly fishes but i can’t get a clear shot. I love most that barnacle and the seaweed here.

i like the photo of those barnacles the most.
i find it disturbing yet, appealing (perhaps because my premed was biology, i can relate somehow).

You always get such great shots. I didn’t know about this place. Next time I’m in S.D. I hope I remember to look this up.

I love these! “Tide-pooling” was one of our favorite things to do on the Oregon Coast. If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll get to do some this summer.
Your pictures are great — they really show how there are whole worlds down there in the pools.

It has been years and years since I have seen barnacles. As a child, I got way too close to a pier and really got some nasty cuts. After that I kept my distance. Their colors are so pretty. All at the shapes you captured are so interesting. That water is dreamy even at low tide. genie
