Fitzgerald Marine Preserve

 















Taking a break from holiday shopping, Beverly and I took a quick walk at the marine reserve as the full moon rose and the sun set through the fog. The negative tide was ebbing near its low. We had an enjoyable time scrambling over the exposed rocks and peering into tide pools in the gathering dark. This anemone was in about 3 inches of water. Enlarge the photo and you can see a hermit crab peeking out from his snail shell just to the left of the anemone. 'Hermies' appeared to be everywhere!
