This one

gives me a powerful sense of deja vu.

Roman seems quite enamored with the shallows.



Good afternoon. :)

Heya pi. :)

That's the old dock. What's left it. It was destroyed far before I was born. Not even sure how long it lasted after being built, due the size of the logs which float by in storms.

They use to crab off the end of it. During high tide. Now we take boats over.

He liked the water. I was surprised. We had a great 'sniff and walk'. He likes to sniff things. And I wait while he does. Until I get bored that is.

:P

I could probably do that all day long. .... well not the sniffing exactly but rather the looking and the finding of little bayside things.

You may have heard this story of mine, but once when I was much younger my family went to Vancouver, I had a chance to do that in a similar environment as Oregon. And indeed my parents had to wait for me as I combed the tidepools. I got terrible blisters from getting sand and salt into my sandals.

And just when we were about to leave I could swear I could see an entire field of purple rocks. Then I almost stepped on a sea star. Then I realized, the 'field' was entirely coated with nothing but the sea star. One was dying (the only I could find, even among those missing limbs, that was in such a state), so I took it. It still sits in the washroom, to this day.


hmm It occurs. I'm not sure if I recall you saying you lived near a lake, or the ocean. Though I assumed the latter.

The ocean is on the other side of the Salishan Spit. This is an estuary.

Where fresh water and saltwater meet.


There are seastars all over the tidepools. Orange, purple, and red.

Big ones.

Yachats is a great place to see them.

Hmmm interesting indeed.... do you see many other things? Shrimp, urchins, gobies, etc.?

I've personally considered the idea of making an aquarium with temperate organisms, less colourful perhaps but still interesting creatures. Tho' as I've gotten a little older, I've come to appreciate the idea of merely going to visit and seeing everything simply interacting in nature, if perhaps less visibly, than actually putting it in a tank. Besides.... a heater for a reef tank is easily aqcuired, but a chiller is much more expensive and difficult to maintain. So I recall from mild research on the subject.
