Tripping the world, slowly
Dawn to Dusk! I try to cover as many as topics I could relate to.
This blog is my creative outlet where I can share my photos and a bit of myself.
Exploring my world with pictures and words.
Welcome to the Gallery
Welcome to my curious world of words....
Drowning in the busyness of life, and how I stay afloat, and find peace and stillness amidst the chaos
Beautifully captured serenity. That starfish is incredible
Thank you Tina. The morning sunlight was treating its orange pretty well. The tide was still falling so it was freshly exposed. That didn’t hurt either.
Tina’s right. That is a stupendous photo. But your shots always are. They always bring the shoreline to life in such a thoughtful way.
Thank you so much for saying so Margaret. Looks like you and I agree Tina’s got a good eye, and she is wonderfully encouraging.
Beautiful, serene collection. I love the starfish too. It looks jewel-encrusted!
Your’e right. It was one of the first things I noticed when I got down near the water. The morning sunlight set if off pretty well. Thanks!
It’s beautiful.
Excellent.
Thank you John, very thoughtful of you to say so.
Two beautiful captures! 🙂
Thank you Amy.
Are the sea stars returning up in your neck of the woods? It seems a long time since I’ve found any, though I can’t say I’ve caught very many low tides of late. Far too many other distractions. Thanks so much for providing the next best thing… 😉 Your images are way cool!
Yes, I would say a substantial rebound in Pisaster, the one I think you are referring to (the one in my current post). The sunflower star, has had a tough time rebounding. Thanks for the complement and for getting me thinking about your important question.
I would love to see you do a post about the Pisaster recovery. (thanks for providing their name). Hope the sunflower manages to recover. (That’s the one with a lot more points?) I’ve never been lucky enough to see one, but I was told they used to be seen at Seven Devils, N of Bandon.
Okay, by fall I’ll do something on that topic. In the meantime, you are correct the sunflower star has twenty arms, more or less. They are often orange. I don’t think I’ve seen one in the intertidal since 2013. Others have, but they are struggling. They are mostly subtidal and important predators on sea urchins, which have been taking advantage.
Ok that was awesome. Both photos. You’ve brought a little serenity to my morning.
Made my evening
Such beautiful images! And, I must agree with everyone else, the starfish is spectacular.
Thank you Sylvia. There’s something about starfish.
