  • As the tide fell, the ochr sea stars became exposed and easily seen.  Their tube feet held them tight to the rock as the waves crashed across them.  I sat down on a rock to take the picture as close as I could to their level.  Each wave kept the bottom three wet and put spray on the rest. The afternoon light made them glow.

  • A few ochr sea stars clung to rocks at low tide as the waves came in and out.  I used a slow shutter speed to create a ghostly feeling to the scene.

  • I found these eleven ochre sea stars clumped together in a tight line.  I wondered what had brought them together in such a tight group.  The tide had just pulled beyond them so they still had a wet glow to their surface..

  • The tide was going out and I found this ochre sea star on the side of a rock with various algae.  The sea star didn't move in the 20 minutes I stood nearby watching.  I was intrigued by the design formed by the sea star and the brown algae.

  • I hiked down to the edge of Deception Creek near where I camped to look for stars.  I found a great rock that allowed me to climb out into the creek. I sat watching the stars for 30 minutes.  The creek gurgled softly by as the night unfold including a few shooting stars.

  • Thousands of stars were visible above Lake Janus and reflected in the mirror flat water.  It was an inspiring and invigorating sight.  I stood watching for a long time in awe.

  • The mussels formed a dense clump around this small tide pool.  A single giant green anemone hung on the side of the pool.  The mussels are favorite food of the ochr sea stars and therefore tend to be found higher in the intertidal zone than sea stars can go.

  • The stars were bright above my camp site on Lake Janus.  I could see thousands and thousands of stars.  I stared for a long-time in amazement of the sight.

  • The design on the back of this ochre sea star was intricate and fascinating.  The tide had fallen just below it allowing me to look closely at it.  A band of quartz in the rock helped to frame the sea star.
