Summary

Description

When w:Plankton crushes ashore, it dies and disintegrates creating w:foam like bubbles, which are left at w:tide pools floor after the w:ocean retreats. The bubbles display all the same properties as w:soap bubbles do, displaying typical w:interference w:colors , except they last much longer than soap bubbles do.The w:organic material of the w:Plankton , that lowers the surface tension of the water (as soap does) and preserves the film is responsible for these w:colors.

It might be also interesting to note how the appearance of my reflection is chanhing from bubble to bubble. The image was taken at w:Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.
