Although not maybe the most glamorous of marine critters, this flea too has its place in the world.
At least this one doesn't have you scratching your head.

This is how barnacles (and other crustaceans) grow.
If they don't fit into their suit anymore, they cast it off and grow a new one.

Jan: I never fail to linger over your pictures, especially now that I have given up diving. Your Double Bluff pictures are equally pleasing. Long before GPS, Double Bluff was a fixed reference for visual navigation as we cruised up Admiralty Inlet on one of my Navy ships. In my mind I can still hear the quartermaster saying, "Tangent on Double Bluff, zero five seven degrees," even though it was nearly half a century ago. When my youngest grandson was in preschool, this was a weekly destination. As an old man I walk those beaches, tidepooling, birding, watching for mammals, and enjoying the ship traffic going by. I can even let the dog off the leash there. I don't comment on every posting, but I read them all. Thank you for sharing your gift.

Thank you Curt for your kind words. I am taking the advantage to live so close to the Double Bluff beach and visit it often.
It sue has so much to offer, the erosion of the cliffs provides never ending display of textures and forms, not to mention
birds, tidal marine life and awesome clouds above.
And here is another dose of underwater sights from Whidbey.
Few snapshots of what is going on at Langley harbor. BTW, the tug was built in Freeland, Whidbey Island.
From two headed anemones to tire eating sea stars (just kidding)
