The light rays are called Jacob’s Ladder.
Early morning rainbow. This bodes well for the day!
Deer to the left of the fallen tree. The branches are covered in mussels. The mussels go up on the branches for protection from the sea-stars.
Our morning activity was to take a zodiac ride. The naturalist/boat driver took us right to the shoreline.
Orange Sea Cucumbers (Cucumaria miniata)!

Black Chiton (Katharina tunicata)! They kinda looked like roly poly bugs. LOL.
