Good evening readers how was your day??  I once again was like the Energizer Bunny all day and am now sitting here dreaming about going to bed!  Did the usual this morning and took the dogs to the ocean for a nice long walk hoping that the rest of the day they would be worn out and quiet.  We had a nice walk along the coast, it was a beautiful clear morning with a nice heavy wind to keep things cool.  I collected a bunch of very fragile dried up sea urchins that I am going to use for a photo that I hope to get done and sent to you in the near future. 
 
At around noon I took off back to the North coast one more time to see if anything new had arrived at the tidal pool.  I still haven’t seen the two baby cowfish again no idea what happened to them?  I did find another spectacular Red Warty Anemone seen here, it was so big I could only get sections of it in my field of view with my macro lens.  I held my breath and laid on the bottom just watching this thing today, it is so cool and so beautiful, I could have stayed there all day.  It’s mouth is towards the bottom of the photo and I watched as it would clean the trash away from it’s opening by using these two fan-like hands that were inside the mouth.  I was there for around two hours floating around and when I left this guy was all closed up, it was just a red warty ball stuck to the side of the wall, such an amazing creature! 
 
That’s about it, hope you all are doing well, I will be back tomorrow, bye now, Barry

Good evening friends, here is another first for the Barry and Aimee underwater collection, this is a beautiful Red Warty Anemone.  We found this very near where the baby cowfish were swimming in only two feet of water.  After taking this and getting home I noticed there are little blue hermit crabs everywhere!  I didn’t see them when I was there but you can bet come Sunday and tide permitting I will be taking their photos as well!  Because of this full moon we are having creating these low tides we are able to get to these tidal pools which are normally always underwater and in very rough surf. 
 
I was dragging my feet today at work and still feel very tired from our day of fun.  Our little kitty left today with her new owners at 1:30.  It was so sad to see her go!  I received calls all day with kitty updates saying she is doing great and adjusting to her new home with no problems at all. 
 
Sorry but I am joining Inca in bed, I am beat!  Talk to you tomorrow, Barry
