I Love Beach Glass!

I just can't help but love beach glass. Every piece is different and there's such a mystery about it. Where did it come from?
What did it used to be? What does it want to become? Wandering my cove looking or new pieces is so peaceful and relaxing.

Shore Birdwatching

I just love to drive around on a clear day looking for photo ops! This beautiful February day gave us these lovely local shore bird shots. I hope you enjoy looking as much as I did taking them.
