California Coast: The Low Tide Exposes Rocks and Myriads of Water Creatures.

…“[In time Chris comes back and wants to go. He says he has found some funny plants out on the rocks that have feelers which pull in when you touch them.] I go with him and see between rises of waves on the rocks that they are sea anemones, which are not plants but animals. I tell him the tentacles can paralyze small fish. The tide must be all the way out or we wouldn’t see these, I say. From the corner of my eye I see the little girl on the other side of the rocks has picked up a starfish. Her parents are carrying some starfish too.” (Cont .Next)“

Five miles South of Orick, CA. I did not find any exposed rocks along the ocean edge, in areas consistent with the ZMM Narrative, so the /\ Above /\ Photo shows what is seen at the rightly famed half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco.
…In the previous photo it said => These 3 phrases are Author Robert Pirsig’s way of telling us, that he as author knows that the Narrator’s treatment of Chris is very deficient. … But in ZMM phrase above, the Narrator, despite not getting any rest, decides to go with Chris to see the “ sea anemones”. And approvingly continues with “ Her parents are carrying some starfish too.”
