First the location of where we found the little starfish. In the rocks at the beach of course.
We decided to take a 2 kilometer walk on the beach today and as usual we went to a secluded part, where there were only a few people. All of them staying far apart from others which suited us fine, as one cannot take any chances with this Covid thing that is now again rampart here in it's 3rd wave.
Now just look at this little beauty that we found.
Marian spotted him, as it was low tide and we were looking for the big starfish in the rocks that are normally underwater.
The amazing thing is that the sun can bake the starfish stone dry at low tide, when the rocks are exposed.
But when the tide comes in again it resurrects the starfish and they become alive again.
So, we found him a nice calm little pool with some water in it to wait for the high tide.
And to end, I have a trick shot here. There is a plane, two kayak paddlers and a yacht in this photo. See if you can find them?
Two things that blow my top like an over pressurized steam cooker at the ocean. Litter including plastics and people that kill the animals. Surely a man that drives the latest Landrover is not poor, so why then does he trap an octopus and start to cut it apart still alive?
Why do people party on the beach and then leave all of their empty bottles and plastic packets behind? Why do people clean the rubbish in their cars by strewing the rubbish in the parking lots? Don't they know that the rain will wash it down into the storm water drains and that it will end up in the ocean?
We are killing the animals in the oceans my friends.
Here's the evidence.
I bet that he was still alive a few days ago and I wonder how much plastic they are going to find in his stomach?
I am sorry to end the post on this note, but it is so important that we start to teach others the dangers of littering. Or at least that we make a big noise about it.
And That's All Friends.

That starfish is cute and I have seen plane, two kayak paddlers and a yacht in the photo, as well as that mountain behind the fog - is it fog?
We have been talking before about the people who pretend to love nature and go outdoors to enjoy the beauty that Mother Nature offers us. They party and have fun and that's okay for me, as long as they do it on places where it's allowed and don't disturb the animals, but when they leave they suddenly forget. Don't they want to see it as clean as it was before they came when they come there next time?
Do they think there's a cleaning woman who collects their garbage?
I try to not leave a trace and usually you won't notice that I have been somewhere after I left, and if everybody did it that way we wouldn't need laws which forbid wild camping.
People don't care and I think they care even less since last year, although the number of nature lovers has increased dramatically since the beginning of the pandemic.
And as you said, the trash will kill the animals and that makes it even worse.

Yep, that is fog rising from the sea Hannes.
Even today we had a very bleak day where the mountains could hardly be seen.
Oh yes, I totally agree with you and humans are the strangest wrecking animals on this planet. Selfish, greedy and I can think of a hundred more despicable names.
Now you can see why this planet is being poisoned and I don't blame nature for being angry.
People have to be taught only to leave their footprints in nature and nothing else.
Soon, our evil deeds and non care attitudes will be rudely changed by mother nature.
This was our bleak mountains today.
Cheers and thanks.
Yep, my friend, such days happen and sometimes these images can also look cool such as minimalist mountain shots.
As long as the footprints are where they don't matter, but people trample everywhere - beautiful flower fields get destroyed because they want to take selfies in the middle of the field. They don't care about the flowers.
Mother Nature isn't angry enough yet, but I think she's too good-natured and she believes in the humans more than I do.
!BEER and !WINE - both make a nice dinner with !PIZZA :)

Yes I agree and I also take the minimalist shots of the mountains as at times they have their own beauty.
No respect for the self, so how can they then have respect for the flowers that they tramp on Hannes?
The only dream that they have is to show others how beautiful they are, or how important they are.
Mother nature is not stupid my friend, she is already shaking the Icebergs loose in the Atlantic and I think some big things are waiting for us.
Cheers and thanks.
I believe you are right, Zac, but the only downside is that there are many innocent people too, but how would you say? Such is life🙂
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃

Oy Vay, they say that the innocent will always suffer my friend.
The government should make it a law for everyone to have a refuse bag in their cars.
If anyone throws litter out of the windows the driver's licence will be suspended for 3 months.
Look at this. Beautiful isn't it?
Now look at this!
I am going to do a post soon about my hatred of littering.
Cheers and thanks.
Yep, so many throw their garbage out of the window, here too. At least there should be a huge fine. I parked on a really nice spot. There was a garbage bin, but some kids have left a lot wrapping papers from sweets and tin cans all around. The garbage bin was only half full!
!BEER and !PIZZA - nice 😃
