I've been having some computer issues (sigh), but here are a few photos from a visit to some sandy tidepools in Marin County today (9 June 2019). It was cooler at the coast this afternoon, but it's still over 80°F (26°C) in Cotati tonight (after 8 p.m.).
I'm not sure about the identification of the sculpins, so if you have any thoughts about them, let me know. The anemone is a Moonglow Anemone (Anthopleura artemisia). They're often found at sandy (or gravelly) sites.
The top one looks like a Tidepool Sculpin (Oligocottus maculosus), which are pretty common on the Olympic Peninsula, but I'm no expert at all.
