A rock face in the sunshine at low tide. It's covered with life; oysters, barnacles, and mussels. The blue mussels are tied together in tight groups, the barnacles and oysters spread around. There are a few limpets. In between the animals, an encrusting stage of red alga paints the rock; a few clumps of green rockweed hang down on the right side. The rock itself, where it can be seen, is greenish, with a sandy texture.
Mussels, barnacles, oysters glued to an intertidal rock. New blog post: wanderinweeta.blogspot.com/2026/03/stay... #VancouverIsland #Oysters #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineInvertebrates #NaturePhotography
