We became instant oceanographers and began studying the marine life in the tidal pools. Here we are studying the sex life of the sea slug. Naughty!

Tidal pool in Maine - not sure what the little blueish things are. They're about 1mm

I believe that down on the beach

where the seagulls preach

is where the chinese buried the truth

I guess I am going to have to go out and find new locations for this process. 3 shots from DC and they all have the Washington Monument in them.

We went to the open house for the new tidal gates built in the Winterlake area near Coquille, Oregon. This area out here typically floods in the winter and fish have a habit of exploring outside of the river and occasionally getting stranded out in the fields when the water subsides. These gates should help regulate the water flow, help the fish get larger, and, once they do a little leveling of the the fields, reduce the amount of fish getting trapped. (A nearby road is actually called "Fishtrap".)

After a day of wandering aimlessly, I sat down by an abandoned tidal pool to watch the sunset.

I'm pretty sure life didn't form in tidal pools but probably near hydrothermal vents, but still, looking at them you get the idea of how abiogenesis could occur here.
