What a Great Fall Morning

I like mornings when the tide is out and we can take our time on our walks...not feel rushed. This morning was not one of those times. We only had an hour and a half at best, so we had to complete our mission on time. Wouldn't you know it. There must have been 4 or 5 lines of shell beds all along the beach. How in the world was I going to check each location out in such a short period of time. I figured it best to start where the waves were breaking due to the tides moving back in...What a great day for sea glass. I could not go two feet without finding a piece or two. Lots of green this morning. A lot of plain white pottery....a little turquoise...one piece of cobalt blue and the rest white and brown....Out of a hundred pieces of glass, I'd say there are 25 pieces that are good quality for jewelry...good finds today....It was interesting because you would think the beach would be desolate so early in the morning. No such luck...other beachcombers checking out the finds...lots of photographers taking family pictures. I guess the season is upon us and those Christmas cards must get out with smiling faces and sand all around...I felt fortunate to find all that I did....we'll see what tomorrow brings...
