Tidepools

After Jack and I finished our Macro and More Workshop in the Oregon Columbia River Gorge area we planned to drive to the coast and shoot the tide pools.  This was the first chance I had to shoot this incredible macro paradise.  If you can picture giant rocks the size of cars that are  covered with sea life.  I was totally amazed!  I told Jack we have to add this to the 2009 Macro and More workshop, Jack agreed.  Here’s a shot of a green anemone.
