Little things like traces of wetness on a kelp blade; remnants of a fallen tide.

Little things like intertidal intrigues played out in the mist before a coastal forest.

A patch of small black mussels occupied by snails almost their same size. Misty forest in the distance.
Nucella canaliculata and their favored prey, Mytilus spp.


And for beachcombers, little things like the prettiest washed up nassa. (A perfectly fitting empty nassa is a hermit crab’s dream.)

A channeled and beaded shell on wet gravel. Some small bits of gravel-polished driftwood too.
