No, I saw her collection and I went out by myself but it wasn't negative low tide. So I am planning to go on one of the next group outings.

Hi Jellis,you have a beautiful collection from the tide pool. Did you and Donna Pomeroy go spotting together?
Jellis
I will when I get on my computer

That's interesting information, Jellis. I didn't know that. Could you please add that to the description so the information is easily readable by anyone looking at your spotting? Thanks!
Jellis
Thank you Maria. I am learning that some of the tidepool creatures move a little and if you pick them up and not put them back exactly, then they easily get lost trying to find their homebase. So they suggest not to move them if at all if possible and if you do remember where you found them.
