Just Before Dark


The sun was shining today - a rarity in March! - which makes beachcombing difficult.  Everything is more reflective, and although glassy rocks like agates show up well, others do not. So after the sun went down I took a short walk on a nearby beach, and brought home just a pocket full: a couple of nice petrified wood and jasper pieces - and a spotted thing I can't identify.
I am heading away from familiar beaches tomorrow and looking for agates in the southwestern part of the state, which may involve a lot of probing and digging. We'll see how THAT goes...
