Tidepools

These were all taken at Point Fermin, California (in San Pedro). For those who may be unfamiliar with tidepools, a tidepool results during a low tide. You find them in rocky areas and when the tide goes out, it leaves water remaining in the crevices and low lying areas that do not have a watery escape to the sea without the benefit of a higher tide. This also traps sea life in those little pools that cannot move on to other areas. The lower the tide, the better. This was a fairly low tide of .26 feet, and had come down over four feet since the previous high tide. From about three hours before the low point of the tide, I was able to walk out up to 50 feet in areas that had been covered by water earlier. If you ever visit a tidepool area, be careful as it can be very slippery and leave nature how you found it. Thanks for looking
