The Rock Pool Diaries (5): The rock pools at low water…

Probably the best time to visit the beach. When the tide is out, all is revealed!

The Rock Pool Diaries (4) – The spinach seaweed…

Again, this seaweed probably has a proper name…but it looks like spinach to me!

The Rock Pool Diaries (3) – The tagliatelle seaweed…

It probably has a proper name but it looks like tagliatelle to me!

The Rock Pool Diaries (2) – The colourful rocks…

Colorful if you’re in the US! Rocks in the bottom of rock pools here in Banff, Scotland. Wonderful colours and plenty of sea snails hiding between the rocks.

The Rock Pool Diaries (1) – The Moonscape!

It looks like the surface of the moon but I think (but don’t know) that these little critters who live on the rocks down on the beach are barnacles. Somebody will, I’m sure, correct me if I am wrong.

I have a 100mm lens that I hardly ever use but I took it for a spin on the beach today and took photographs in the rock pools when the tide was out. And so, get ready for the rock pool and dog series!

The Guilty Dog (previous post)

Here’s the little scoundrel, as ever, looking pleased with herself. No shame!

The dog in shot…

It was going to be a photograph of some interesting shells that were stuck to the rocks on the beach. Then Katy, our dog, stepped into shot. She is no appreciator of my artistic endeavours!

The Dead Slow Sign

Straighten up and fly right!

The Patterns

You could go to an art gallery and pay a fortune of course but nature makes some interesting patterns – all for free, ever-changing and always wonderful.
