Tidepool Seagrowth, Pink

pink seagrowth What IS it with these photos of purple-y natural phenomena? First the frost photo (below)that has lingered at the top of the post list for weeks and weeks. And now--this thing (above). This is my favorite of all the three hundred pictures I shot while on a week's vacation in La Jolla. And it's true, one-third of those photos were of beached seals, mostly racked out in a truly impressive display of basking and lolling. And as such, most of those photos are amazingly boring. But this! This strange flower of the ocean! This crazy tidepool creature-harboring growth! This is pure excitement for a landlocked dweller like me. Check out the bubbles obligingly stationed at all four corners. Proof that this thing is really underwater.
