Taking picture of tide pools requires patience because many people want to play with the tide pools.  If my goal is to show the patterns and textures of the rocks, I have to wait for the precise moment when no one is around. But on the other hand I cannot be "too" patience becasue the pools are not always there. Nevertheless, sometime it is fun to include people, especially children, into my pictures. The last picture that looks like an Impressionist painting is a reflection of a beach house and a tree.
