Low tide reveals some beautiful creatures, as photographed by Amy Ruegg.

I love Stars but I think Bat Stars might be my favorite. Of course I'm hearing a particular song in my head right now - Batman is featured!

And here Amy photographed an Ochre Star. Heck, I love them too! They come in various colors and look like they are bedecked in jewels.

One more find for today, a Pacific Stubby Rose Anemone - isn't it beautiful?

I'll be sharing a few more of Amy's finds tomorrow.

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

We made it through the big storm on Sunday but there are many power outages because of falling trees. The wind was particularly fierce. We didn't get nearly as much rain as those to our south. From the storm we received 2.17 inches at Rick's and my place (those up on the ridge got quite a bit more rain), season to date is 36.84. I consider 50 inches to be a "normal" wet year. We're getting there.
