Venice

A few days ago, I went to Venice beach with my family. As we set up our area, we saw something that had washed up on shore. It turned out to be a really neat marine animal called a nudibranch. We put it back in the water to safety. Then I went out for a walk with my sisters on the beach where we found lots more nudibranchs, stranded on the shore. We found black ones, brown ones, and little ones. The nudibranchs that we found where not the venomous kind. So we could pick them up safely. A neat fact about nudibranchs is that they produce a purple ink when they are threatened. We also saw a blue crab run across the beach into the water. We went swimming for a while, and we found a lot of fish. I did not have my camera with me so I could not take photos of the animals I saw that day. Next time, I will bring my camera.

  1. I had never seen a nudibranch swim before. They were so beautiful ~ it looked like they were flying through the water.
