Tide

We spent a fair bit of time walking around the rocks in Island Bay at low tide yesterday and today. The tide varies a lot and the rocks are pretty craggy, so there's tons of little tide pools. The kids like to wander about and look for little creatures in the pools. There were tons of fish, mostly little blennies but we also saw a crab

but he was petty shy and hard to get a decent pic of. There were zillions of these little blue starfish.

There were some bigger starfish.

No, bigger.

Unfortunately we forgot the camera today, because we found one little pool with some of the little starfish, some blennies, a shrimp and two sea anemones. Pretty cool.
