Tidepooling

Often when I get up north to visit my folks Mom has a stack of magazines saved up to hand off to various family members. This one she handed to me and suggested that Mr. Last and I might like to explore some tidepools on the coast.

So...being the obedient child that I am, today I took Mr. Last to

W.R. Hearst Memorial Beach where we found:

1) the obligatory state beach seagull shot

2) Hearst Castle on the hill

3) Cambria-by-the-Sea

and...

TIDEPOOLS!!!

 Complete with starfish and sea anemones

Good thing we checked the tide charts so we knew

low tide was perfectly timed for 3:30 p.m.

Thanks, Mom, for the excellent suggestion. We are looking forward to visiting some of the other spots mentioned in the VIA article.
