beach finds



Autumn is perfect for beach finds. The storms throw up all kinds of interesting things on the beach. Today I found a boat, a shoe and a rusty, machinelike object, and a little collection as seen above; pieces of porcelain and ceramics, pink shells, a button.

lovely beach finds. we never seem to make it back to the beach after the summer ends. i imagine it must be so peaceful!

nice finds! I've been working as a guide for a while, showing people what lives in/at the ocean, and the tourists I enjoyed most were small kids, because they always came to me with little finds like this and wanted to know what they are called and what they eat... :)

Perfect collection. Look at how the tones of your finds are beautiful together.

thank you for great comments!
I am happy to know some of my readers are into this, too.

Laura - I usually just arrange the finds on the beach and leave it there - keeping the most precious ones, of course.

fliss - I would have dragged the boat home if it was wood! It was not, though - boring red plastic thing, so I am still looking.
