One of my favorite hobbies is tidepooling, and when tidepooling, I'm often on the lookout for small organisms... especially nudibranchs.  Kodiak Alaska is not only rich with large animal life, it is rich in all kinds of lifeforms.  When we were visiting Kodiak the first time, it was during the time in July when the moon was full and the tides were extreme.  This is one of my favorite times to go and visit the shoreline, as you can often get to places that are in the subtidal zone.  Nudibranchs can often be found in the low elevation tidepools, and this time was no exception.  Pictured here is an Opalescent nudibranch, climbing on a piece of brown leafy algae.  Unfortunately, this was the only nudibranch observed on the trip.  I was really hoping for more diversity.  As a comparison, on one morning tidepooling at Seal Rock, OR I was able to find and photograph 6 different nudibranch species.  

These photographs were taken with my Canon 6D, 100mm macro lens with a circular polarizer filter.
