can you believe
that other than editing to black and white or softening with a polaroid look, i haven't had to edit any of my vacation photos, which means the light in seattle and oregon is about as close to perfect at you can get, which means that yes, this is sooc, which means that this starfish really is this purple, even on a cloudy misty day.

I live in Oregon and yes the coast is very awesome... even in the rain. From a reader who lives near the wine country in Oregon.

Gorgeous purple starfish! ...even if he is eating up all those mussels:) Wonderful tide-pool finds!

Leslie said...

The colors of the marine life in your recent photos are absolutely astounding! How amazing that you not only got to see it with your own eyes, but that you have the talent to let us see!

Thank you.

Kamana said...

is he nearing the finish line? this is so cool.

Mark said...

yes, definitely see it.
He's a bit on the plump side isn't he.
no wonder he's running.
That is the most interesting star fish I've ever seen.

Country Girl said...

Saw it before you even mentioned it and I love that perfect light!

Relyn said...

I've never seen a purple starfish, or heard of one for that matter. The world really is full of wonders.

alexandria said...

This photo made me smile because it brings me back to my childhood and visiting the tide pools where we found gems like this each time. Beautifully captured and it looks like you had a splendid time in the northwest!

Keda said...

You find the most fantastic pictures. I really should get behind my lens again because it really is a skill to see the world through it. I use to see everything as a possible picture, but one forgets how once you take the lens away for long periods of time.

Marilyn said...

Love your running man starfish. The color is gorgeous.

Jillsy said...
