Exploring tide pools can be a big adventure. Here, Jonathan Dowell is wading in Point Loma Tide Pools to find pictures for the ReefNews Photo Gallery of San Diego Tidal Creatures. Because delicate plants and animals are everywhere, he must be extremely careful not to step on or damage any of the creatures that live in these tide pools. The water is cold and the rocks are slippery, but with caution the beauty of these tide pools can be discovered.
