A close-up of the girdle or margin of a Woody Chiton (Mopalia lignosa), photographed on 12 June 2021. In the field, Eric noticed the amazing colors and patterns, especially the different shades of blue. It reminded him of a celestial sky in a van Gogh painting, while it made me think of looking out at a galaxy:
Here's the entire animal on a boulder in the low intertidal zone. [You can click on the images for larger versions.]
