Interesting spread on the poll/voting yesterday (for the image above) -- 3 wows and 3 stinks; with 1 each like it, it's o.k., and boring. Guess it was difficult to figure out what it was, being so blurred. Probably a photo a Caveman could have taken. I figure I owe everybody one free trip to the ocean. Front row seats and pleasant sunsets are available.

A better reporter would be able to tell you the exact name of this variety of kelp, but I don't, so there you go. What I DO know is the kelp solidly anchors itself to the rocks with a root-like holdfast system designed to withstand relentless crashing of the waves.

So, that is what I did on Wednesday. The San Mateo Coastline was calling. I couldn't resist the urge to visit.

This final stop was at Pebble Beach -- not the place down by Carmel, but the Pebble Beach about 30 miles south of San Francisco.

Anybody know the name of these spunky little seaweed things?
I tried a brief look on the web but didn't find them specifically.
I always admire these little soldiers for their tenacity. The amount of punishment they can take from the crashing waves never fails to amaze me.

I always think they look like palm trees. Great captures and interesting coloring for the shots. There are times I do miss the San Mateo coast line. The everchanging ocean does call to me.
Photowannabe is right and didn't know it. Their common name is just that, Palm Tree Kelp.
