With friends like these...


Finally got photos back from our vacation to California. May post more later, but for now I just have to get this one up there. It's my favorite. This is my hand, doing a pseudo-shake with an anemone. It's really neat, because they reach out and kind of grab you when you get close. But not in a threatening way. It's sort of like a sticky little hug.

Wow, they don't sting? Cool.

i'm from nipomo, california on the central coast, if you find these in a tide pool and it's kind of shallow, prodding or poking at them will make them close up and spit water at you! On a hopefully unrelated note: my mom (and now i) call them culos de el mar which means "assholes of the sea."
