You could feel the drop in barometric pressure, the storm was moving in.
.
.
But we walked.
.
.
With me lamenting the fact that we flew instead of drove to SC because there were some shells worthy of collecting.
.
.
So many shells…
.
.
And the starfish!
.
.
Man, they were everywhere.
.
.
And much larger than what we have in Maine.
.
.
The farther we walked from the resort, the darker it got.
Naturally my husband found the only other person on the entire beach and started a conversation as it began to rain.
.
.
She was collecting dead starfish.
.
.
But as much as I love beach strolling, I don’t love doing it in a downpour so we ran back to the condo.
.
.
Not soon enough judging by my hair.
🥴

River's world..... 
Aww….It seemed like a great day for a walk on the beach Neil it started to get dark and ominous. Sea shells and star fish, I would have loved to called a whole bucket full!

I get sad when I remember that our shores used to have tons of sand dollars. I haven’t seen a single one in decades.
You look good with rain hair!

But in brighter ocean news: Otters are making their way south and may eventually return to SoCal.

I’m sure you could wrap up a few shells and take them home in your luggage or carry-on

Nothing like a day at the coast no matter the state you are in.

Only place I’ve seen starfish is bargain shops or decor, which is odd because there’s crown of thorns starfish chewing on the Great Barrier Reef. That weather is fresh and invigorating if you’re rugged up enough. Good excuse to cuddle too 😉

Mine too. I’ve started using this stuff called paste, made with beeswax and some other stuff. My hair stays mostly where I put it but it still feels like I combed a ton of wax into it. That’s a fair price for some immortal hair selfies.

I wonder what she was planning on doing with the dead starfish. Maybe a nice chowder or stew!

Though I’d expect nothing less from a Spam lover.
She was a crafter and was going to dry them out for something decorative. Can’t remember what.
