Miscellaneous recent photos

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.

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.

The tidepool is wow! And the little fella has cuteness written all over! :-)

Yeah, I loved that pool! I have yet to muster the guts to take the DSLR tidepooling, but plans exist.

Equinox is just so cute, I can't even say. His attempts to nibble on the camera slew me.
