First Beach Walk of 2015

Today's beach walk to the jetty was heaven. My husband Garry is demonstrating our beachcombing technique. :)

The tide was way out, exposing glittering little tidal pools with fascinating sand designs. 

We found 10 perfect sand dollars hiding under the sand and saw a purple starfish. 

The bright sun kept us warm. The jetty was almost fully exposed; quite a contrast to the king tide during the last storm when the water crashed up onto the dune and tossed mammoth logs on top of the jetty. 

Perfect way to start 2015! 

(I even made a pair of earrings in the morning. Previous post.)
