Peering into the rock pools on the Worms Head Causeway in Gower reveals colourful kaleidoscopic patterns of common British seaweeds beneath the rippled clear water.
The Seasearch Guide to Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland produced by Francis StP. D. Bunker, Christine A. Maggs, Juliet A. Bridie, and Anne R. Bunker, published by the Marine Conservation Society in 2010, ISBN 978-0-948150-51-7, is a really good book jam-packed with wonderful photographs and clear descriptions of seaweeds to aid identifications.
Not something we get to do very often living about 600 miles from the ocean so your pictures were a real treat!

It’s a great past-time. I hope that you also enjoyed your rock-pooling activity. While I was there I also took many photographs along the new “watery” theme of surface textures, patterns, reflections, and image distortions through the aqueous lens.
