Here are a couple of photos of purple sea stars to close out Prince week (apologies to the purple honeycreeper who will have to wait until the next purple week). These guys are also called ochre sea stars, and as you can see, they aren’t always purple — some have a bright orange coloring while others are different combinations of the two colors. Like the sea urchins I posted earlier in the week, they were photographed in Olympic National Park in Washington. Top Photo — Nikon D700 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 400, f/20 at 25 seconds
Bottom Photo — Nikon D700 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 400, f/20 at 6 seconds
