I thought this would be a great setting for a fairy tale about little people who lived under toadstools and did good deeds for humans. Alas, I'm not a storyteller or writer.

White algae at Back Beach

We don't usually get to Back Beach at low tide so this was a treat for me to be able to walk down a part of the beach I had not stepped foot on before. When the kids called me over to the rock in the middle of the first photo, I was astounded at what I saw.

Green algae was expected, but the white algae with it was totally amazing. I had never seen anything quite like it. It looked like something mystically swirling in the pools of water

Even dried, it looked pretty weird.
