I’d never seen a live Starfish before. What a neat find during a morning walk on Siesta Beach.
A little Starfish research offered the following info:
Starfish come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes, but they all resemble a star. They have spines covering their upper surface and a soft underside. Starfish are not actually fish. They do not have gills, scales, or fins. They have tiny tube feet to help them move along.
What a joy it is to have had a brief respite from the day to day; to walk for hours along the gulf coast. Even though it was all to brief, I’m carrying the memories of the water, the sun, the warmth, and the breeze.
Even after all this time, I find myself thinking about how lucky I am to be hanging out, virtually anyway, with the rest of the Monochromia photographers. I mean, seriously, I still need to learn how to adjust shutter speed.
I’m just going to sit here in the soft morning light, enjoy my cup of coffee, and ponder my good fortune.
The fog was coming in thick, and quickly shrouded the New River and surrounding landscape. It was thrilling to be in the midst of it.
This was early in the storm, which in Virginia, came in two parts. And yes … the bird feeder has been filled since this picture was taken. Several times in fact.
