Starfish Day

It was Starfish Day at the beach yesterday. Lots of them all over the tide pools. Dozens, as opposed to the usual four or five. Lots of pink ones in addition to the usual orange. That's technical starfish language, there, folks.

There was one starfish lying on the bottom of a tide pool, and Noel picked it up to look at it (starfish can do OK out of the water for some considerable amount of time). The dogs were very interested.

He let them sniff it, and as you can see, both of them decided to see how the starfish tasted (just little exploratory nibbles, but still). That's us, feeding the wildlife to the dogs. They both got scolds and the starfish was put back in the water.

The pink ones are very pretty. I don't know why we haven't seen them before.

Starfish freedom

We stayed until just after sunset, with the fog rolling in fast over Morro Rock. The beach is really pretty in the winter.

I would post scans of my latest drawings, but I upgraded my OS this weekend and absolutely none of my peripherals are working. Oh, well.

How lucky you are to be able to be close enough to visit such a gorgeous beach. I never knew starfish came in colors!

Thanks for the pictures!
