Drove up to Tongue Point in the Salt Creek Recreation Area. It is a point of land that sticks out into the Straight of Juan De Fuca which is the body of water that separates the U.S. from Canada at this location. The point is known for its tidal pools and during low tide, you can walk out and search for sea creatures.  I found this good size starfish sitting in a small pool of water.  I can’t tell if he looks like he is swimming to the right or running to the left…

There were thousands of California mussels attached to rocks everywhere.  You couldn’t help but to walk on them they covered so much of the ground.  This mussels below were attached to the vertical wall of a rock.

You could spend a lot of time searching the tidal pools, although you don’t want to be standing here at high tide!  These patterns of the grasses below as they flowed with the water, caught my eye.
