RHH's photos with the keyword: purple sea star

Heading south along the Oregon coast the third day of our meanderings there, we spent a great deal of time at Cape Perpetua, exploring the tide pools, visiting the lighthouse and walking the beaches. We had looked for Starfish all along the way, but found few, likely the result of a huge die-off a few years ago. We finally found some north of the cape, this Purple Sea Star among them. These photos are of some of the creatures we photographed along the coast.
