Wendy, where did you see these gorgeous red and purple kelp? Was it near the PTMSC?
Thanks so much, Linda! The kelp was from Indian Island, and the three seaweeds are all from North Beach to Point Wilson. The purple-red Prionitis sternbergii is close to North Beach. More photos are coming soon 🙂
Beautiful! Thank you.
Wow! These photos are gorgeous, and surreal! The kelp on the old piling looks like it’s in a studio, having a photo shoot. 😄
Thank you, Penelope and Elizabeth. Yes, Elizabeth, the kelp was posing for me!
