Pounding surf, rowdy competition for space, and violent predator-prey drama make the outer shore a boisterous place. If there is a time of quiet, it comes at low tide.

Steve, a great shot — love the low angle view into the distance. I can smell the salt air and the tang of seaweed. 🙂
Sally, you have a better eye than I do, so I appreciate your thoughts. I like the angle too. I was a little worried viewers wouldn’t get the image because my back was to the sea. But you got it, even your senses too ‘Course, you know the exposed beaches and rocky shores. Thank you.
Oh wow! That starfish! 🙂
I like the colors in this image. The starfish is pleasing in that bed of dense-clumped kelp. Thank you for mentioning it.
I love the rock in the background, rings like a tree stump! Beautiful 🙂
It’s a fascinating geological feature. I don’t know the story, but it is eye catching, to discerning eyes. Thanks!
Wow, that’s crazy (the starfish shot)! Loved all of these.
Agree, lot of good ones. I guess the starfish shot benefits from a great color pairing with the dense-clumped kelp, and the low angle doesn’t hurt. Thanks!
