I meant to post some pictures from Maui a while ago. We went to an intertidal region and built ourselves a tide pool of exciting critters. We also went snorkeling and found an eel and an octopus! We added the octopus to our tide pool, and she showed us some beautiful patterning. I also loved the way the lava rock was pocketed with nooks and crannies for creatures to hide in.

what's happening here?
