on August 11, 2021Very different kind of kelp (maybe I'd prefer not to wear it around my neck! ;-))--I wonder if that type is doing better than other kinds?

on August 11, 2021I can see why this kelp got its name; I have not seen this kind before; great detail in the kelp and the gulls; super contrasts!

on August 11, 2021I am assuming that this is at low tide and the gulls are looking for seafood trapped in the kelp. Great shot here, Terry.

on August 11, 2021Didn't know that there was a Feather Boa seaweed, so I've learnt something today. Great shot of the two Herring Gulls, looking for a quick meal that can be scavenged.
