July 2012: Tide Pooling at Golden Gardens

While we consider ourselves somewhat knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the local mountains, we had never explored the shoreline of Puget Sound. Some friends invited us on a tide pooling expedition at one of Seattle's waterfront parks, and we were amazed at what we had been missing all these years!

A surprise under every rock!

Cara found a crab.

Considering the discoveries of the day.

What do we recognize here?

How did it fit under there?

This heron is also interested in sea creatures.
