Saturday, July 18th, 2026 at 2:58:05 PM · 2026/Schoolhouse Beach Tide Pools
A small pink/red sea star (starfish) is prominently displayed on a dark, wet, barnacle-covered boulder exposed during low tide at Schoolhouse Beach. The rock is richly colonized with multiple layers of intertidal life including green sea lettuce, brown kelp, barnacles, and mussels. The surrounding shallow tidal pools reflect the overcast sky, creating a moody, cool-toned atmosphere typical of the Pacific Northwest or Northern California coastline. The wide-angle lens captures the textural richness of the intertidal zone, emphasizing the biodiversity packed onto a single rock surface. The image conveys the quiet, resilient beauty of marine ecosystems caught between the tides.
