See Glass, Sea Glass

The sun warms the sand. Waves crash against granite boulders projecting up from the sea bottom. Left as a reminder to a glacial time.  Often, the sea offers up its treasures. Even in winter, finding sea glass along the beach as an adult is like finding coins on the shore as a child. 

Most of the time the sea glass is dark in color.  No doubt because darker glass makes it more difficult for things to decay as some things are photoreactive. Beth loves the aqua and soft mint green especially.  She has themed her home around these colors. 

All of these things are a result of sea littering.  This is either through ships that sank or tossing glass articles, bottles, cans, plastic bags, netting and such overboard.  It isn't kind to the marine life. We are what we eat. 

Often on autopsy of a whale, otter, dolphin, seal or other living things, human artifacts, polluting ones, are found inside. They cause the death of these magnificent animals as they suffocate inside them.

The sun continues to warm the sand. Waves deliver more artifacts.  We collect them, sometimes admire their beauty and remember.
