Walking the relatively treeless section of Boneyard Beach, it was all about the shells.
.
.
All the beautiful shells it was illegal to remove.
.
.
So of course most of them were perfect.
.
.
It was hard not to slip a few into my pocket.
.
.
There was no one around and they were so pretty.
.
.
But I chose to do the right thing and did what others do.
.
.
Found a perch and left my favorite (look at those colors!) for future beach walkers to enjoy.
.
.
And then it was back to the trees.
.
.
Those marvelously twisted…
.
.
Skeletal trees.
.
.
Needless to say it was against the law to remove the driftwood as well.
.
.
.
.
A driftwood selfie was the best I could do.

It would most definitely be hard for me NOT to slip a few shells and take them home. They are so pretty, nature is wonderful in her creation. That beach is something else, I love it!

It may have been illegal to remove ash from Mount St. Helens, but that didn’t stop me from collecting a couple of vials.
You’re a better person than me.

My kids are always removing rocks from the hikes we go on; shells, though – you’re right; those are perfect and deserve to rest.

Those shells are beauties. Someone before you resisted the urge to take them so you could enjoy them, and you passed on the favor. Nice.

I didn’t want to leave them, but you’re right. Sharing the beauty is more important.
