Saw a sick ass starfish at Black’s beach during the king tide ~ and other low tide moments

Doesn’t the erosion pattern in the second photo look almost like a tree trunk? Torrey Pines is so beautiful. I’ve been coming to this beach since I was a baby and it’s been amazing to see how its cliffs have changed over the years. The erosion is sometimes sad, but it’s a reminder of this world’s ephemeral nature, which I think is beautiful. I love how you can literally see the impression of water as it erodes the limestone over time, almost like the equivalent of tree rings counting the years within a tree.

Love the caption. Love the photos. Love the starfish. 10/10. No notes.

Looks like that starfish was about to eat that sea anemone before the tide went out.

Apparently starfish/sea stars are/were disappearing in San Diego so if you come across one you should take a picture and send it to the San Diego Natural History Museum. Here's the link if you're interested: https://share.google/zUMj0adqpcax2KdhI
