Bought a box of 78s from the Goodwill blind as I often do, and these two great records were in it! I didn't even realize the Ol' Man Mose was that one at first

Found this red abalone a couple days ago, but it has this strange pattern. Any idea what caused it? As you can see, there were a lot of encrusting sponges and other species on the top of it.​​

1891-1900 WG & Co from Limoges. Not sure how it got down here in California! ​

Found in central California. I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture before but I'm not recalling it now ​

Spend way too much time trying to get some of these out, whole area was covered in broken glass. There's still a gallon jug I had to leave behind.​​

The land used to be a dairy until the 70s​.

*I did not fall down the cliff this time, though the tide was higher than I expected. Any idea what this was from? A very unique color and the letters are not on the expected side

Sullied Pheasant I think, plus some bonus others I found.

I'd post in the basic questions thread but it doesn't seem like anyone's actually answering anything there.

I'm interested in getting a basic kayak for light ocean areas, in calm spots like in a small bay. I don't have much space but I saw that the Oru Lake seems to be relatively small and not too expensive. Would there be much issue taking it out in mostly calm waters in the ocean? I generally want to use it to get to small coves that aren't otherwise accessible from land. Pictured is one example.

Thanks! ​​

The crows are nice, the grackles are a menace.

Part of a balanced breakfast. For those wanting something else, try our chocolate A. versicolor!

And for those wanting something different try our new grape A. versicolor!

Shell is an Ida's Mitre

I had found a few in the recent past, but yesterday found three more! ​​​

The first two photos are the A. lineata, the next three are the closest species, A. ​versicolor and a bonus at the end of a very pretty shard of a pinto abalone.
