| Low tide |
From our friends at The Oregonian…
Like a curtain lifting from a stage, the tide sweeps back to reveal the players: thick-armed ochre sea stars, slippery mats of seaweed and clutches of green anemones shaped like rolled up socks in a drawer.
And as the tides receded even farther than usual this week at the Oregon coast, they unveiled another suite of sea creatures, some rarely seen by air-breathing visitors.

The link to the full story doesn’t work. It would be great to have a list of places where there are good tide pools.
