Although it was very windy and quite cold when we arrived at 8am, it warmed up a bit in the bright sun.
Our normally intrepid little explorer was a bit daunted by the cold and mostly watched from the beach, although even he could not entirely resist the lure of the exposed rocks and critters.

a meeting of the limpets
somethings fishy in this pool
I wonder what critters that make these kinds of marks in the rocks
very interesting pattern on the underside of a limpet shell
sea snails
oh how I love thee Wikipedia! It took <1 minute to identify this creature, the Acanthadoris lutea (aka "Orange-peel doris"), lounging about among the spiny sea urchins
cool Chiton (aka "sea cradle")
and finally, is it a friend? No, it's anemone!
but we're going to make friends with it
