Christopher CooksonOver 70% of earth's surface is covered in water, but probably over 99% of photographs are taken in air.<br>
This is the first time I've ever seen or managed to photograph a member of the Sphaeromatidae family of isopods, in a shallow rock pool.<br>
It's also the first time I've seen an active limpet, rather than as they usually appear, inert, clamped to rocks while the tide is out.<br>
The stripy tentacle like appendages are fascinating.<br>
