| Tide Pool Starfish |
"Now the tide turns, and water flows back up the beach. Starfish creep from hiding places between the rocks looking for mollusks to eat. Starfish have no heads or tails, so when they move, any arm can lead the way."

From The Ocean Tide Pool by Jeanne Bendick:
"A tide pool is more than just water. It also is home to many animals. Some may live their whole lives here. Others may come and go with the waves. But one thing is certain. The tide pool will never again be exactly as it is right now."Did you know that starfish are not fish at all? They are echinoderms, spiny-skinned sea creatures. Starfish have hundreds of tiny tube feet beneath their arms. Each foot has a suction cup to grip onto rocks.
Exploring an Ocean Tide Pool (Redfeather Book)
Have you been to an aquarium before? It is a great learning center to discover where the great wonders of the sea come alive. In La Jolla, we have Birch Aquarium at Scripps.

DeleteGreat wave post for today. I am just going to wait and see what happens on March 1st. I realize there are different oppositions to change to, but I have no idea how to do them. When Google takes GFC completely away, I just will not follow or be followered. Just as long as I can visit and comment, it will be okay.
