Glass Beach

Had a great day today hiking to a local beach known here as glass beach. You can only get to it when there is a low tide. There used to be a dump atop the bluff many years ago so there are all kinds of treasures to be found there. Today we found agates, marbles and a rainbow of colors of sea glass! I want to play with some of the glass and incorporate it into some jewelry.... we'll see what comes of it!

Also along the walk we spotted many different color star fish. Many tide pools with great inspiration to draw from...

If you look close in the top of the tree you can see a pair of bald eagles.....

and another photo of the many star fish ........

It is hard to believe that we are having such wonderful weather and it is still February! I hope that this doesn't mean that there will be water shortages later in the year..... time will tell I guess! I am loving this sunshine.... hoping it will last a few more days for Nicole, my friend from Canada, who is coming here tomorrow. Actually she just lives across the Straights from us but I am hoping for good weather so maybe we can venture back to glass beach and find some new treasures........ stay tuned!
