Kelp blade, attached to pod.  Aren’t those veins/ridges a nice parallel to lines in the sand and to wave forms?

I imagine there are kelp specialists.   I am just finishing a book about a [fictional] moss expert.  Kelp seems weird compared to moss, but weirdness is pretty subjective, eh?

And it bears a slight resemblance to a bird.  With a teensy head and a voluminous body.  I am imagining printing with this — running an inked roller over it, then pressing it onto some nice handmade paper.  Yes.
