So I started looking for rocks the last couple of weeks since there has been very little trash washing up on the beach. It is a popular thing here. I don't know much about any of them, I generally grab what catches my eye or attention. But I do know which ones to really watch for. Those are at the end of the clip. It's been fun to watch the looks of envy on the faces of the rock hunters I know when I have shown them. The piece at the very end is what is called beach glass, and well cooked. It's been rolling around for awhile; there were no sharp edges and will appear frosted when drying. Almost 5 months now of waddling along the beach so far. It's been quite interesting to see how the conditions have changed, particularly the last month. For example, the high tides have not been very high, and have been very close to the same level. During winter the high, high tide (what is known as a king tide) is right up to the bluff of the dunes. I would say that now they are approximately 150ft or 50m away. It makes it really hard to walk in that dead space because the wind moves the sand around and it's very soft. I will have to make a video of that area, there are some cool looking areas developing.
