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.
