Looking for Starfish

Living by the ocean nearly my whole life hasn't lessened my fascination with it, or with the creatures who call it home. One of my favorite childhood memories was when I spent the day exploring the small caves created by the rocks at the inlet. The interiors were filled with little treasures (at least I thought they were treasures). There were crabs, small fish, shells, and my favorite starfish. Once I was quite excited to find a small seahorse. Inside these little sea rooms with a sandy floor, the waves could trickle in and bring enough water to cover my feet and provide a place for these ocean inhabitants to live and hide. Those moments were special as I felt hidden away with these little creatures and felt a part of their magical world.
