I love the seaside shots you've submitted. This one is as good as the other, and made me chuckle! It looks like he just pranced into the frame saying "Hey guys!" :D

I saw several of these at Southey Bay on Salt SPring Island, but I don't have any good photos. Certainly nothing as fantastic as this shot.

@Ana "Omelete": That was my first thought when I saw it :)

Gorgeous! Not sure how I missed this but glad I found it now. Had no idea they were that colorful up there. All I have ever seen were dull red ones.

I'll never forget seeing a purple starfish for the first time at Jericho Beach in Vancouver. I will always associate them with BC.

We have purple and orange starfish all over the rocks here in Oregon, usually inside the caves and around the lower rock formations where the waves cover. I've even seen Sunflower Starfish, which is round and has more than 8 legs. It was lighter pink in the middle and purple on the outer edges. It was stranded in a tidal pool and was beautifully unusual! I have also seen man-o-wars stranded in tidal pools. Our ocean water is freezing cold so I was surprised to see the man-o-war, at all.
