Just a mood. I haven’t been feeling IG for a while, and having weaned myself off FB my days here may be numbered. Maybe not, but it’s been bittersweet for a while and now the bitter is winning. by @chilipossum

Top 10 photos from this weekend’s tidepooling with @chilipossum : chitons spawning, many fantastic flatworms, new-to-me mollusks and amphipods, a goofy-faced crab, a charming polychate worm, and of course, beautiful nudibranchs.
