      These are anemones, Elizz and this bunch was definitely alive. 🙂 When we were little kids it was fun to poke them in the middle and watch sea water spray out in an arc. 🙂

        can it survive out of water? but i hope they could make it til the next high tide..

        They can make it a little while before drying out so the time between high tides is usually just fine and it gives us a chance to see them from a great point of view.

    Great anemones. I’ve never seen such mint green ones before. They look to be quite a good size.

      They were pretty big, Deb everywhere I turned this pretty shade of green was poking out from tide pools and under rocks. It was so pretty. 🙂

    They almost look like Polynesian water oysters. I was straining to see if there was a pearl inside one. 🙂

    Beautiful image! What are those green things?

      Thanks, Kan! The green things are little sea creatures called anemone. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be found in tide pools and growing on rocks.

      This beach had more green than any other color. I wonder how many varieties there are.

    These things are really weird looking. I found a lot of them in the tide pools on a beach I found on the way to Kalaloch. Hard to find ones that didn’t have sand in.

        Second beach is a lot of fun. I was looking for new places to photograph and was pointed here. Looking forward to being back in the Pacific Northwest next year to continue my exploration.
