Speechless Sunday - Tide Pools (Natural Bridges State Park, Santa Cruz, CA)

By
Real Estate Agent with Chris Alston (Keller Williams Realty, Silicon Valley, California) 01338415

A day at Natural Bridges State Park, just North of Santa Cruz, California with my son Ryan...

Natural Bridges

Walking amid the tide pools, it is not often you get so many great creatures in one picture!  From starfish, to sea anemones, to mussels, sea grass and sea weed.

Waves

Caught a seagull watching the waves, just like me.

Snowy Egret

A Snowy Egret waiting to catch the fish, or crab that happens to wash in.

Tide Pools

Natural Bridges is a state park that has what seems to be a mile of tide pools to explore, and of course take pictures!  Make sure you check the tide schedule, to get the best chance to find some great stuff.
