We walk down to the
Spit almost every day. There are rocks
of all sizes and lots of drift wood on the beach. The sand on the beach is medium brown to black
and the rocks are all different colors.
The Spit is on Refuge
property so there is absolutely no removal of any rocks, driftwood, etc. But, if you’re willing to walk West a little
bit, you come to a cliff area that is part of the county park. You’ll find the same kinds of rocks and the
same beautiful driftwood and you can pick up a few treasures and put them in
your pocket.
I have a hard time
limiting myself to just a few rocks. I
try to just get colors I don’t already have.
I’ve found a few more
rocks since I took this picture but this will give you an idea of the beautiful
colors to be found.
Even with the cold
rainy weather we’ve had, we’re getting out and exploring every day. We brought a great book with us that is very
helpful in finding good places for birds and other interesting things.
This is probably the
most interesting bit of driftwood I’ve ever found. It looks great on the wall!
I’ll keep looking down. There are still plenty of treasures to find!

That green rock is my favorite. I love the little piece of driftwood too.
ReplyDeleteI like the green too. And the marble and the granite and the agates ...
DeleteCool stuff, any sea glass?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen any sea glass. We'll be going to a lot of different areas and beaches so I may get lucky.
DeleteThat driftwood would make a great wall hanging. It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's lightweight! I'm not sure what my rock weight quota is but I'm pretty sure I'm getting close.

ReplyDeleteWhat rock weight quota? You have a Ford diesel. Just kidding. We are always thinking about weight too, including our own :)
ReplyDeleteShouldn't have any problem, we have a V10. I always think if I have room for something I'm okay!
