​THE TIDE POOLS OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES

...Continued from previous post:​     
      The second and final Sunday of our visit we went to see the tide pools at Abalone Cove in the costal town of Rancho Palos Verdes.

        After parking the car we trekked down a hill which offered breath-taking panoramas,

​...and some quite steep inclines,

​...that had Tom and me wishing for our old hiking sticks.

​     As it turned out, when we reached the beach it was necessary to negotiate a rather gnarly patch of rocks to reach the shore, which left my mate and me once again wishing for our hiking sticks.

​     In any case we made it down to the beach,

...where we caught sight of the tide pools a little ways down the shoreline.

      Tide pools are litte shallow pools of seawater that will form at low tide among the rocks along a rocky shoreline. 

     Various forms of sea life can be seen in tide pools, which is what attracts visitors such as ourselves.  

       As for me, the rocks being quite...rocky, I didn't venture out much past the edge where there wasn't much sea water or, consequently, much sea life action.

      However I was contented to stroll along the shoreline,

...and enjoy the views,

...while Tom found himself a perch on the rocks from which to take it all in.
