Each day I find a surprise on the beach. Today it was many small stones. Yesterday it was a pretty-well-intact sea urchin, a strange 3-cornered stone, and an intact pen shell, both halves attached. My guidebook says you must be lucky to find one half of a pen shell intact, and you are "very lucky" to find both halves attached. The shell is very thin and about 6 inches long. On the sea urchin, the tiny hole at the top is the anus, the mouth is on the down side. That's the camera strap in the lower right corner. The stones are new to me. Don't recall ever seeing stones on a South Carolina beach before. I'll try to get a photo of them tomorrow. Wonder where they come from? The ones I picked up today are smooth and mostly yellow-tan in color…….. Writing is still going well. But today was such a beauty I spent several hours sitting on the beach reading a romance novel and soaking up the sun - too nice to be inside, especially since forecast looks like tomorrow will still be nice, but probably some rain and then - Sunday will be very much colder.
