Re: Whidbey Island Critters
I was watching the crab crawling over the Lingcod, expecting some action.
Especially when the Ling started to open its mouth...
But the Ling obviously doesn't like crab legs and the crab liked me or my camera more.

Happy to be alive.
Re: Whidbey Island Critters
Wow, Jan! When you told me about them yesterday, I thought they'd be interesting, but they're way better than that.

Re: Whidbey Island Critters
Thank you.
Just when I think there isn't much else I can waste pixels on, something else shows up.
Got to love the underwater world...

Re: Whidbey Island Critters
Wow, it would be unnerving to have your hands and arms go numb after handling egg capsules. Glad for the warning, although I don't intend to disturb any.

Re: Whidbey Island Critters
All I could think of, while looking at those amazing pictures, was how brave you are to be doing macro photography that close to a Lion's Mane jelly!

Re: Whidbey Island Critters
Lynne,
Maybe " not too smart" might be better description than "brave"
However, I did noticed that the jellyfish was not trailing its stinging hairlike weaponry like the on last week at Holmes Harbor which got me as I was swimming through 2 feet of visibility. But at least I know that I don't suffer nasty allergic reaction to their sting.

Re: Whidbey Island Critters
Another batch of Sea star surveys here on Whidbey.
Sea stars became so sparse, that it is a treat to find one.
Maybe that is the reason, that most localities have still healthy ones and few wasting.

Now it looks like that day is not too far off :(
