When vacationing at my favorite beaches, I usually play in the water or look for shells along the shore. But once each day, I make a point to search for digital treasure.This graceful Millipede Starfish was stranded on a sandbar when I happened along with my camera. The creature was in full view of approaching beachcombers who might seize it as a vacation trophy. Providence had placed me there to prevent this tragedy.
Carefully sliding my hand beneath the nine-legged body, I lifted it into the shallow surf. The starfish quickly revived, and I took some photos—my reward for helping it escape. Then I moved it into the deep and out of sight.

These pictures are wonderful! I also like to take pictures of nature.
Oh, that water is so clear and you captured the ripples so well.
Reminds me of this story:

I love the pictures you post on your blogs. It makes me feel like you took them from here in my country.
I find this blog only casually, but i think this is a very good event. I will come more often to see new beautiful photos!
Good for you!
It's better alive than as a dust catcher on a shelf.
