Reef walking

One day we went out to this awesome area.  It has tidal pools, sandy beaches and caves.  In other words, a perfect spot for mom to sit and feed Franklyn while Genevieve walks the reefs with Grandma and Grandpa.  There was a lot to see.

These shells were all over the tidal area.  The black spots look like
blackberries but they were hard.  The small white things are limpets.

The striations are from eons of water flowing.

There were new things to discover in every hole.

Of course your feet must get wet on occasion!

The fissures are full of what appears to be a ferrous substance.  It is
hard but not really metallic.  Where's a geologist when you need one?

The sections look almost man-made in their uniform sizes in some spots.

These were unique rock formation.  It looked like elephant hide but was all hard rock.
