First the location of where we found the little starfish. In the rocks at the beach of course.
We decided to take a 2 kilometer walk on the beach today and as usual we went to a secluded part, where there were only a few people. All of them staying far apart from others which suited us fine, as one cannot take any chances with this Covid thing that is now again rampart here in it's 3rd wave.
Now just look at this little beauty that we found.
Marian spotted him, as it was low tide and we were looking for the big starfish in the rocks that are normally underwater.
The amazing thing is that the sun can bake the starfish stone dry at low tide, when the rocks are exposed.
But when the tide comes in again it resurrects the starfish and they become alive again.
So, we found him a nice calm little pool with some water in it to wait for the high tide.
And to end, I have a trick shot here. There is a plane, two kayak paddlers and a yacht in this photo. See if you can find them?
Two things that blow my top like an over pressurized steam cooker at the ocean. Litter including plastics and people that kill the animals. Surely a man that drives the latest Landrover is not poor, so why then does he trap an octopus and start to cut it apart still alive?
Why do people party on the beach and then leave all of their empty bottles and plastic packets behind? Why do people clean the rubbish in their cars by strewing the rubbish in the parking lots? Don't they know that the rain will wash it down into the storm water drains and that it will end up in the ocean?
We are killing the animals in the oceans my friends.
Here's the evidence.
I bet that he was still alive a few days ago and I wonder how much plastic they are going to find in his stomach?
I am sorry to end the post on this note, but it is so important that we start to teach others the dangers of littering. Or at least that we make a big noise about it.
And That's All Friends.
