a rare day in charleston

A limpet complete with a stylish cape of algae

This years barnacle recruits

What kind of day would it be without this?



My lovely mother

Some coralline algae and seagrass


Sandstone at day


Obviously not found in tidepools


shore acres flora

Hot cocoa roses

Unidentified awesomeness

Coraline algae makes my imagination run wild... is it like coral? a colony?

It is a red alga that calcifies itself so little limpets and things won't want to eat it. So yes a bit coral looking but really just a neat alga!
