Sea anemone tide pooling near Crescent City, CA. Cropped to 75% of original. This is from our trip to Northern California this last fall.

Looks electric in the larger view especially. Nice exaample of the complexity of life, Richard.
Happy New Year to you and to sea anemones in all tide pools everywhere.

(if they can jump)

This is great, Richard. As John mentioned this image looks positively electric on my monitor. Just love the shades of color on this guy. Crystal clear water and hardly a hint that the anemone is in fact in the water. Just a few reflections around the rock weed. Nice that you noticed this and stopped for a shot.

This looks better the larger I see it. Print it BIG and hang it!

I agree with Phillip! The colors of the anemone are exquisite, and the surrounding shapes are interesting.
