A beautiful Ochre Sea Star, as photographed by Janet Burch…plus a bonus photo!

We had a big minus tide last weekend. James Tervo and Janet Burch were out early to see the intertidal zone. Janet photographed this beautiful Ochre Star.

I learned from Bob Van Syoc that the white dots on the surface of the Star are part of its skeleton.

Janet took this photo showing a healthy intertidal zone. Look at all those Stars tucked in!

Thanks to Janet for allowing me to share her photos with you here.

Sunny and warm today!
