As is usual for June, the sky this morning was gray and gloomy. However, the ocean was inviting with a low tide of -0.82 at 8:15. Hidden tidepool treasures were exposed for easy viewing.

I couldn’t help but add to my mini-portraits gallery with shots of sea grasses, sea anemones, barnacles, algae, sea hares, sandcastle worms (a favorite of mine), chitons, mussels and many more unnamed tidepool invertebrates.
