Watch where you step but enjoy the hike. This is looking across to Blacks Beach in San Diego where you can easily hike at low tide from nearby La Jolla Shores Beach. Take time to sit by a shallow pool and spy the little crabs,
and life at the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

These sea anenomes are fairly common and also fun to watch as you wander in the tide pools in Southern California. They will close up if you tickle them with your finger. Tha'ts because they think you are a small fish and want to eat you. Luckily you can take your finger out with no problem, not so for the fish you enters here.

Joyful fun and soulful too . Enjoy!

These fellows are so much fun to watch and they always stay about 8 steps ahead of any human cruising by. They know how to find what is nutritious and delicious one inch under the sand.

Its almost always nap time at the seal cove at La Jolla Shores in San Diego.
About 80 or so hang out here by a seal wall which makes it very easy to film them in action. Most of the action is sleeping but every now and them its time to get up and go fishing.

These three Pacific terns were holding court on the beach. They remind me of some absent minded professors I've had in my time or perhaps they are just the elderly kings holding court on their royal estate of La Jolla Shores Beach in San Diego. I know a bird expert out there can name this variety for me to include.
