Tidepools

---

After the parade I ran away quickly to get to Lime Kiln Point State Park by noon so I could go on the tidepool exploration walk. I was the only one there, so the guide took me to a more secluded area which I never would have considered going to by myself. The "trail" included a bunch of rocks that we had to climb down and walking essentially up the side of a cliff. She did it in a skirt, though, so I felt like I was being a bit of a baby. Anyway, we saw some neat stuff.

The Trail
I actually climbed down (and back up) this giant rock.

The Trail
The photo really doesn't do it justice. This was a challenge for someone with a negative sense of balance and zero coordination.

Gumboot Chiton!
The largest of the chitons.

Chitons again
You can also see a lot of limpets

More chitons
I think there are a couple of different species there.

Sponge
Crumb of bread sponge?

Christmas Anenome
(What do you call a sea creature who commits treason?)

Limpet
And my hand.

Six-legged sea star and an eel
Can you find them?
