Last week our son and DIL rented a house at Newport Beach for the week and we joined them for 2 days...here are some of the photos I took...
(Click on any photos to enlarge...you'll be amazed!)
I've possibly seen star fish in a marine world type setting, but not in their natural habitat
These guys don't look like star fish to me
I've never seen this color of star fish either
Okay, so taking a photo on top of a yellow sand bucket isn't exactly photographic genius...lol
Lots of mollusks right where we found the star fish
I must tell you that while taking these photos, I was still wearing my jean shorts and a blouse because it was cloudy and a bit chilly for me...I stepped backwards to avoid getting hit by a wave and stepped into a huge hole and fell down on my backside...not a pretty sight!
Mr AVO said "Oh, that was the hole I told the kids to avoid"...well, you get my train of thought here I'm sure!!! And of course, there were plenty of spectators watching the entire episode.
The great part of this was that I SAVED my camera from getting wet!!!
Oh, and a disclaimer here...NO star fish were injured in the taking of these photos!
The kids took those 2 on the bucket back to where they found them...hopefully no worse for the wear.
Thanks for the visit today...your comments are always appreciated.
I'm joining Mary's fun Mosaic Monday party today...please give her a visit at Little Red House

I have never seen a live starfish! How very, very cool!
I was amazed! Glad that you survived falling into the hole...doesn't sound like fun at all.
I have never seen a live starfish. They are always dry when I get them. They are an interesting creature though.
The starfish are so colorful. Glad you did not get hurt falling into the hole. Take care.
Aren't starfish pretty? They have so many different colors too! I like this! Cathy
Thanks for sharing the live starfish Lenore - very interesting.
Glad you didn't get hurt and only brusied your ego but saved your camera too!
Cool starfish! Glad you're ok from the hole, but I'm sure it will make a funny story when it isn't so fresh :) Good that you saved your camera!
Oh, they are fascinating creatures, and so beautiful!
I love to visit the tidepools in Palos Verdes - there's such a variety of sea life there. And I've done my share of falling down and getting wet, too! Tbhose rocks are slippery. ::Jill
Amazing, to see them contorted like that! Love their colors - I have never seen a live starfish - well, maybe at an aquarium - does that count!
So glad you didn't get hurt!

Neat mosaic. I am glad you were hurt and neither was your camera!
