Coal Oil Point, Santa Barbara, CA A little break from the Thailand photos today. We took advantage of the low tide and went out to Coal Oil Point. The light as we were heading back was just gorgeous.

Kathryn and I took advantage of a very low tide today to get some photos at Coal Oil Point. Edited to add: I think this guy is a Giant Sea Star (Pisaster giganteus). Though this particular one is not very giant yet.
