Tidepools

It occurs to me that in more than one and one-half years of doing this Daily Photo site, I have not posted a photo of something that people enjoy doing every day in and around Tamarindo -- exploring tidepools. Children especially like discovering the clams, crabs, little fish, shells, and other gifts from mother nature that abound in the tidepools.

The beach at Playa Langosta where our condo is located and the San Francisco point that separates Tamarindo beach from Langosta are especially well suited for tide pool exploration. At low tide, a volcanic rock outcropping is exposed under the ocean. It is relatively flat to walk on and you can explore large areas that are under water at high tide.

This week we are showing photos of one of our favorite cities, and certainly the most unique city on earth, Venice, on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site. It is a photographer's delight.
