Vacation was last week. Overall, the sea glass hunting was pretty good. Some high-quality pieces for sure. I'll follow up with photos.
We hit some new beaches in the area, as well as ol' faithful. The others were not very fruitful. Our "usual" came through, especially in some new-for-us, uncombed areas.
I have plenty of sea glass to write about -- and I'm looking forward to it.

Sea Glass in Parade Magazine
Did you see the article in this past Sunday's Parade magazine? My folks (part of the Dad's Sea Glass Challenge brigade) showed it to me. Nice stuff. Visit the online content at the link below:

We long-time sea glass prospectors (and you know who you are) are ahead of our time!

2010 -- Its Been A While
Since my work entails blog posting for a corporation, as a website manager, I know that photos matter (SEO and all). My older posts have included photos, too. I wanted to get started this year with "just the right post". It was going to have a photo of my "quad-fecta": clear, brown, green, and blue glass found on our first 2010 outing. I should have just gotten going! Better late than never.
That first day was Memorial Weekend. That was a nice day. It was sunny, but cold. The hunting was pretty good. Nothing crazy, but, as I mentioned, I hit for the "quad-fecta". Not bad for the first day out.
The funny thing about wanting the perfect post is that I can't find that blue piece now. I laid out the pieces I was going to feature and, when I couldn't locate the camera, set the glass aside -- but in a well traveled spot. I hoping its behind the radiator right where I placed everything. I hate to think Dad's Sea Glass Challenge has gotten too competitive and someone took it.
Regarding the Challenge, the kids came in 1 and 2. There was a big gap between them, and then another big gap to me (Dad) in third. We brought home hundred's of pieces and a few really great ones. A lot was tiny junk, but stuff that will look nice in a vase. Only a hand-full are "specimen" quality. I'm not sure how to display those. We'll see.
The good thing about getting a late start on posts is that it will take me a while to catch up!
