Beach Combing..

From the time I was a little girl, being woken up very early on a beautiful day to walk miles along the beach just looking for shells has been something close to my heart. I've had an affinity for it ever since. I can't GO to the beach without being totally and completely facinated by shells. Today was a good day. The tide rolled out and I found myself mesmerized by the spot on the beach where the undertow just kinda sits and hosts the many washed up shells. I would grab a handful and just sifle through it looking for the perfect gem. Thats the beauty of it, really! There is a gem for everyone, however the gems are not the same for everyone. I wish I could find more seaglass, but that seems to be a rarity these days since garbage isn't dumped into the ocean anymore. There are still beautiful things to be found. It's all in the moment however. One must be quick..or the shell you are eyeing is quickly washed away by the ever onset of new waves. None the less, a handful of shells is all one needs to make it a perfect day at the beach..
