​THE TIDE POOLS OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES

Picture
...Continued from yesterday:​     
      The second and final Sunday of our visit was, happily, a free day, and so my daughter took us to see the tide pools at Abalone Cove in the costal town of Rancho Palos Verdes.
Picture
        After parking the car we trekked down a hill which offered breath-taking panoramas,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
​...and some quite steep inclines,
Picture
Picture
​...that had Tom and me wishing for our old hiking sticks.
Picture
​   At one point my daughter and grand daughters stopped and asked me to take a picture of them.
Picture
        It wasn't until on our way back that I learned why they chose where they chose to pose:  ​
Picture
​...it being well-known that not even Indiana Jones is as scared of snakes as I am.
Picture
​     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.
Picture
​     In any case we made it down to the beach,
Picture
...where we caught sight of the tide pools a little ways down the shoreline.
Picture
      Tide pools are litte shallow pools of seawater that will form at low tide among the rocks along a rocky shoreline. 
Picture
     Various forms of sea life can be seen in tide pools, which is what attracts visitors such as ourselves.  
Picture
Picture
       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,
Picture
     However my daughter and grand daughters, who ventured father out into the tide, 
Picture
...reported seeing lots of crabs and colorful sea anemones.
Picture
      Meahwhile I was contented to stroll along the shoreline,
Picture
...and enjoy the views,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...while Tom found himself a perch on the rocks from which to take it all in.
Picture
      When my grand daughters came prancing back from the tide pools I shared with them a photo texted to me from my daughter in Columbus showing the weather there.
Picture
     "Awwww!" the girls moaned in unison. "No fair! They have snow!"
