It was a nice weekend on the beach.
Report Details
It was a nice weekend on the beach. The most noticeable change from my last post was the way the beach has changed due to the runoff from pipes on top of the bluffs creating channels on the shore. My favorite find was a tiny angel, 1" long, on the beach which I deem my favorite photo of the weekend.
