Intertidal Garden
Pacific Ocean near Monterey, California
I've always found anemones to be fascinating. When you get down close, you see this whole world of stunning color and texture that's usually hidden by the waves. Finding them is one thing, but making a composition is another challenge entirely. You have to time the tides just right, and even then, every wash of water rearranges the scene. I spent a good while watching the current move over this group, waiting for a moment of clarity. The way the blue and purple tentacles contrasted with the striped green body was just incredible. It’s these small, vibrant details in the intertidal zone that really pull me in.
