Tidepools

Some tide pool pictures from today's afternoon dog walk in the park.  It was gloomy and pretty gray so I was a little amazed my camera could take bright underwater pictures.  They came bright and colorful - you'd never know it was a gray November day.

I always thought the pink stuff in the tide pools is a form of coral.  But today I learned it is actually a form of red algae - coralline algae. It certainly is pink!

I did notice that in the low light my camera did have depth of field issues.  It was hard to get everything in focus.  I guess I will have to try it again on a bright sunny day!
