Field Notes

Description:

Two Junior Project Noah spotters alerted me to these sea stars during a -1.5 tide, in some tide pools. I was happy to capture the two different colors, orange and purple together. Carlsbad, CA.

Ava- yes, the low tides have been fantastic. Alice, I love how getting out to photograph nature combines well as a family friendly event. :)

Wasn't that low tide great? I went to Torrey Pines on Thursday and hiked down the beach and took some pictures too.
