PAD06 - Mussels

There is an artificial breakwater that connects Slater Grove Memorial Park in Warwick, Rhode Island with a small tidal island known as Rock Island. Much of the island is underwater at high tide, leaving much of the sea life exposed for several hours each day. Here's a close-up of some mussels that are underwater when the tide is high but exposed when the tide is low. This photo was taken with the Tiffen 4x close-up lens attached to my Sigma 28-300mm zoom.
