Me-Now-Views; Less Speak More Peek - Recycled

From May 2014

This week, a peek and poke around a rock pool at Toward Point.



Rose quartz is strewn everywhere as is milky quartz.  

Lots of Pelvetia Canaliculata (bladder-wrack, top), Phycodrys  (right) and Ulva Lactuca ('sea lettuce' below)



Another of the bladder-wrack...Ficus sp.







...then there's all the molluscs. Limpets, whelks, clams...

Some living.  Some not.

    You could eat the sea lettuce couldn't you? I wonder what it tastes like.

      Actually, just about every seaweed is edible, but all require particular forms of preparation. Yxx

    If you like rock pools and critters I highly recommend Wandering Weeta's blog - one of my all time favourites and which I have followed for years - decades even. Trust me - brilliant. https://wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/

    There are so many rocks, pretty shells, and little sea creatures to look at. We wish we live near the ocean.

    What beautiful nature shots! I love all the colours of the rocks in the water juxtaposed with the greery! It so reminds me of walking along Wiffen Spit with the dog when we lived in Sooke. Thanks so much for the wonderful emeories!
