View fullsize Perhaps one of the most cryptic nudibranchs I have seen.. This is Steinberg’s corambe- a sea slug that looks just like its food. They feed on unique + encrusting colonial animals known as bryozoans, which commonly grow on kelp blades found on
View fullsize Stalked jellyfish are a summer resident here in Northern California. I saw my first individual a few weeks ago and was thrilled, but that day was quickly put to shame. Just in time for our Cnidarian unit in a zoology course I am taking, we were able
View fullsize A surprise encounter. When I go out for macro photography, I often leave my telephoto lens at home. This long eared owl will forever encourage me to bring it with, no matter how heavy it makes my bag 😭 This was shot at 100mm and cropped immensely

View fullsize As the tide started to come in, I began walking back to my car when I was stopped by some oystercatchers. I watched as two parents tried to teach their kids how to eat limpits. The babies still had a ways to go, and seemed pretty confused by the whol
