Tide Pool + Tide = Oh…

Last Sunday, Marcia and I climbed down a cliff to a beach where they have awesome tide pools. I have even mentioned them before on here. You have to take a scary path down to get to them.

But it was a cool foggy day, which was nice because it was in the low 90s by my house. Also, there were tons of flowers everywhere.

We climbed down and discovered that, duh, the tide was coming in. We couldn’t even get to all of the beach, let alone see anything in the pools. Also, these cliffs are dangerous with sleeper waves that come up suddenly and splash you. Even the fishermen were thinking of leaving.

But we looked around and still saw some cool things. For example:

A stick that looks like a friendly elephant

joy lanzendorfer squid
A dead squid, possibly left behind by the fishermen

joy lanzendorfer pod
A multi-colored seed pod

joy lanzendorfer rock
A naturally yellow rock

joy lanzendorfer beach plant
A really pretty plant

All in all, it was nice to get out, climb down a cliff, and look at nature for awhile. And it was great to get out of the heat.
