A tribute

I've received a couple of reports of Red-striped Barnacles recently, including one from north of Fort Bragg, which is very far north for this species.  (Thanks, Michele!)

So I've been thinking about barnacles lately, and in general I'm just a big fan of this fascinating group of marine invertebrates.  Here are a few shots to celebrate them:
