Muddy barnacles. They're pretty much the only noticeable creatures besides the gulls that survived on this beach I scoped out, post Hurricane Sandy.
An Atlantic beach.
Not sure if these are still alive. Possibly Balanus sp.

Thank you, Sarah. New Yorkers are like barnacles... despite the tides, they cling to life!
Nice capture of beauty.....post Sandy! :)
I admire your dedication. Glad you didn't fall in!
Thanks, Dan! I can see it.
I'm glad someone appreciates the barnacles. I got a painful splinter as I awkwardly hung off a sandy outcrop to get these shots, and nearly fell into the water. Haha!
Cool. They almost look like puffballs.
