From Our Beach - Sea Glass Photos
Looking at the first photo in our short series today, let's get your possible questions on our appearance out of the way.
Now through November are the coolest months of the year here but still warm enough for flip-flops and maybe shorts.
Lin needs more warmth then I do, so that's why she's cuddling me. I put up with it ;)
I (David) am 68 years old. Lin is 29 (at least that's what she told me awhile back).
My trusty Canon point-and-shoot camera is in usually in my left shorts pocket. My walking stick and net bag for beach finds are not shown.
Lin carries the sea glass and I carry the other interesting beach finds.
Nobody took the photo of us. The camera is set on a rock and a hope. It was a little too far away so later I ran the photo through a free photo
editor to make me look better.
My (David's) hat. Even at this time of the year, the sun is tropical and burns and I have trouble with skin cancer - therefore the 'jobbers cap' for protection. When I was younger, my hair served that purpose but that's been years ago. Many years.
Lin's hair gets lots of comments, especially in this country of straight dark hair. It really does look professionally curled and "done." I believe the locals who don't know her think she spends big bucks getting it tinted and permed.
It's disgusting, though. She cuts her own hair and then only when it gets too long. It is her natural color (brown underneath, gray and white "frosted" on top) hair. She just gets up in the morning, puts some water on her fingers, and fluffs it up.
When she is really
spiffing up, she uses some mousse on it (spelling? or is that as in chocolate mousse?).
Her hair really is impressive. The fact that she basically does nothing to it is not fair to the millions of other women who struggle everyday getting their hair to look good. But I guess life is not fair in a lot of ways.
(PS - shhhh. Lin doesn't know I'm writing this and I need to post it before she destroys it.)
Well. Now that we've got the more serious thoughts out of the way, lets look at some sea glass photos.
We hope you enjoyed the pics.
For our part, we feel very fortunate to be able to live in this beach town in South America and wish you could be here to enjoy it too.
Actually, the sea glass here was an unknown before we moved here 3 years ago.
We had done some research on this beach via the internet, though, and it seemed to meet most of the criteria for a decent beach for sea glass.
But we didn't know until we got here exactly what we would find.
Although there are not tons of sea glass here (some days we may not find one piece), all around it produces great sea glass as you can see from the selected photos shown above.
