Macro Monday {Saturday Night}

It seems I have been on a bit of a blogging diet this month.  In an attempt to get back into the swing of things I thought I would join Macro Monday over at Lisa's Chaos. 

Saturday night is the one night of the week that we go out to dinner as a family.  

As we were leaving for  dinner I noticed that the roses were heavy with a day long drizzle attack.

We headed down to our favorite Japanese Restaurant, Kobe Sushi.  We have been patrons of Kobe Sushi since it opened 14 years ago.  

We tend to be creatures of habit when ordering.  While we do try to mix it up a bit each time, the 18 piece California Maki is something we always order.

After dinner we had ice cream down at the beach.  I had fun taking pictures of all the lights on the rides down by the boardwalk.  The lights on this ride reminded me of a giant Lite Brite.

Happy Monday!

Macro Monday -- Sea Life

I don't have a macro lens anymore, so I can't get those super close shots, but I do enjoy getting up close and personal with my telephoto lens.

So I am going to play along with Lisa's Chaos Macro Monday! This first picture is what a sea anemone looks like when the tide rolls out and leaves it exposed to the world. 

I love how it tries to hide and protect itself with a bunch of ocean litter.

What kills me is that many visitors to the tide pools don't recognize that these clumps of broken shells are living creatures and they stomp all over them in their tennis shoes. Ouch!

I'll bet if they realized they were walking all over this lovely creature they would be much more careful!
