Tidepools, graveyard ducks and one adorable spotted baby pony beneath the cut.

Eve and I spent some time in this really gorgeous graveyard in Oakland. Unfortunately, my camera batteries ran out too soon, but next time I'll take the DSLR and get better ones. I love the scene with this little mallard and the mausoleum pond.





The mallard hen. Awwww, I love dux.


Really pretty angel. This big stone had not one but two inscriptions regarding the rising of the dead. So this is obviously where the zombies are going to come from.

Tidepool photos! This amazing pool was one of the loveliest, most colorful ones I have ever seen. Love the red sponges!








Sea anemones reproduce in a couple of ways...sexually, by releasing gametes, and asexually, by cloning themselves. I've never actually seen this happening until now. Check out how this giant green anemone is splitting itself in two!


This one is a little earlier on in the process. Ah, spring.




Snuggly ochre stars...the purple and orange are the same species; I have never heard an explanation as to why they come in 2 colors.


Goose barnacles


Stalwart tidepool shelties.




From the ocean to the river. Dancer!


It's not a good picture, but I still like it.


More mallards. You can never have too many.


Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww baby spotted pony. He was very interested in the camera.


hi!


Nibbling mom's grain. How precocious!

You forgot to mention Rogue's little escapade in the tidepool.

Oh, Rogue says that had to have been a figment of my imagination. She is a Dignified Little Housefox of Grace and Poise, and comports herself always as a lady. She would never misjudge her footing while trying to jump from one rock to another and end up falling over backwards into the tidepool, resulting in an undecorous splash, flailing paws and sopping wet fur.

That would lack dignity. Therefore, it never happened.

Housefox! I used to call my little Sheltie-mix, Mister, a little fox. It's that pointy nooooooooose.

Oh, it really is all about the muzzle. I love shelties when I generally disdain small yappy dogs, and of course that's mostly about their sweetness and intelligence, but a lot of it is about the pretty brush tail and the extra-pointy muzzles. I want a pet fox. I can't have a pet fox. Shelties though, come pretty close.

Yes. They really are sweet, sweet dogs.
