i just spent four days in southern california visiting a friend who lives in laguna beach. we visited several of the nearby beaches. i had high hopes of beachcombing for all sorts of STILL blog worthy treasures. but at the entrance to every beach there are now signs that say the beach is a sensitive ecosystem, that no beachcombing is allowed, and the only item you can take away with you is sea glass. i totally admire this. so i used my open journal to lay out a few washed up strands of seaweed and kelp, snapped a quick photo, and then returned the items to their respective homes. everyone was happy.
kelp and seaweed
laguna beach, california
that is a really great way to conserve and still let us appreciate the beauty. thx
Ahhh, miss Laguna terribly. I was raised not 10 miles from there. Had a painting shown in the Laguna Arts Festival when I was young. I see that beautiful textured sand sticking to your kelp in your photo. Good times and good food!
Thank you for bringing back great memories.
Hi Tracy, I understand your longing. I have traveled a lot, and found Laguna Beach to be one of the more beautiful places I have visited. The cost of entry is exorbitant, but the setting is unequaled. Lucky you to have grown up with a piece of paradise. That is certainly something to be grateful for!
