It was spectacular, not because of the size, not because of the location, because of what was growing on it!

I know, when I was a kid we called them "blue bellays" LOL

That water fall ROCKS!!!!!! Great pics PC! :D

I'll be interested to know about the fresh water anemones too...

Are you sure they are anemones? It looks like a weird form of algae to me

No it was squishie, and gelatenous(sp?)

Does anyone have any clue to what this is? I have looked online with no avail, so any help is appreciated

It's a freshwater algae. If you're REALLY interested, you can key it out via

but it will require a rockin good 'scope and about a weeks worth of patience. :gj:


Nice Ride. Great Pics. This is why I love Cali.
