Geo 365: April 22, Day 112: Hand and Foot

Mussels along the top and right, barnacles on the left, a sea star in the upper right middle, and hooman beans top and bottom. Geology not so much (basalt), but I really like this photo. Dana told me later this was the first time she'd seen a starfish in it's native habitat (we saw a LOT of them). I was a little surprised at the time, but I've realized since she just hasn't spent that much time at rocky coastlines. Most of her coastal visits have been unconsolidated sediments.

A cast iron frypan with a lid, a little scallion, white wine, you are standing next to a feast!

I've never tried to cook mussels- I like clams okay, but not oysters, so I don't know whether I'd like them. And this being a park, I don't think harvesting is allowed. But it surely explains this photo.

If you like clams you will probably like mussels too.Esp. in white wine. I pay big bucks for those at Jakes restaurant in Portland and can eat two orders they are so yummy.
I just saw that other picture and yes it does make sense.
