These photos were taken with my throw away Kodak water-proof camera, then scanned into my computer. I was quite impressed with the results. It's true, only real film can capture the true colors of this beautiful place.
While I know I have a map that says you can walk to Little beach, since the last season, that is now no longer true.

Too bad, I know.
This years Little Beach finds include a dead logger head turtle, a strange injured bird that neither myself or my mother could identify, Very large rope off a ship, raccoon foot prints, lots of Mylar balloons, and many other pieces of trash.
My mother is OBSESSED with beach combing, and recently found a dead loggerhead turtle, some of the carcass had rotted out but not much, it was clear who the owner still was by both sight and by smell. She insisted that my father cut it out so she could add it to her growing collection of turtle shells in her garden.After the awful duty of cutting out the gray and rotting meat, it still stunk and had a protective sack attached to the inside.
He tied a rope to it, and hung it in the water off our dock where the crabs decided that it was too disgusting for even bottom feeders. About a week after being under water, they put it under a bush for the insects to finish, where the smell was still to overwhelming to bear.
All this for more decoration for the garden.
Well we're almost back to a dog friendly beach, so I'm very excited!
