There's only one week left to go for Tidal Treasures! We're so close to unlocking the California Two-spot octopus pin, and there's still time to vote for which pin you want to unlock as a freebie for all backers when we reach $19k.
It's been really fun to hear which of the pin designs and creatures are your favorites, and now I want to know...
Have you ever been tide pooling? Where’s your favorite place to go?
One of my favorite places is Salt Creek Recreation Area, near Washington state’s most northern coast. Above is a photo I took of a tide pool containing purple encrusting sea sponges, black leather chitons, acorn barnacles, and an aggregate green anemone. The longer you look the more creatures you can find—can you spot anything I missed?
Besides being home to all kinds of amazing tide pool species. Salt Creek is also just an incredibly beautiful place to visit and stay, and you absolutely can’t beat a cliffside campsite overlooking the Pacific ocean.
And since it’s Pride month I would be remiss if I didn’t mention it’s where my wife and I had our wedding ceremony two years ago!
