Tidepooling

Here in Hawaii, shoreline access is a public right.  Therefore, gated communities have to provide access points.  Today, I used public access through a posh neighborhood to walk along the lava-rock beachfront and gaze into tidepools.

The first point of interest was a lovely Keiki pond (a children's pond).  

After that, I looked into many tidepools and found a few invertebrates, and some small fish.



But the last tidepool I looked into had a very content sea turtle, grazing away on encrusted algae.  That was a pleasant surprise.
