Today's people picture is a little bit different from my usual Friday people shots inasmuch as it is a diptych and the top picture is the underside of the sea star. The bottom picture is the top of the sea star and the hand in the picture belongs to, Jeannie, (which is where the 'people' comes into the picture). I thought I would give Jeannie the credit for today's people photo because she gave such an interesting talk as we wandered over the rock pools.
You can see on the underside of this creature, there are tiny sucker feet on the end of each arm. In the centre of the underside of this animal is its mouth.
@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel. It was a bit difficult getting the top photo on its own. When Jeannie picked it out of the rock pool she put it in a plastic bowl with water in it which is where you see this photo. It would have been a bit cruel to flip it upside down on her hand as there was nothing for it to grip on to turn itself over like it could in the bowl of water.
Thanks for the explanation - the capture of the hand and fingers is also really good, Babs!
