Tidal pools at low tide have an odd sort of feeling to them. It’s a sense of waiting and increased danger all at the same time.
All the creatures are still. They’ve retreated to safe spots, or perhaps folded up on themselves. All the colorful waving tentacles of the anemones are tucked away in a dull green shell, away from the peering eye of local seabirds. Even the starfish, the top predator at high tide, tucks itself away.
When the tide returns, so will the color and animation. But now, now is a time for waiting.
