And the UNIVERSE gives back . . . .

I went on my walk late this morning because I knew low tide wasn’t until about 11:30. Went on the beach and saw this poor little starfish, stunned by the cold. I wish I knew what I could do to help in a situation like this when it’s so cold, but I do not know.

Re: Hooray ...

Yes, I do! Someone must have found them and I'm so lucky they put them at a place I usually go.

I've never seen a pen shell before...looks big! And how wonderful that you found your earmuffs. I'm guessing some kind soul found them and picked them up....better than them taking them home! Beautiful pic of the starfish.

Thanks!
They are about 6-8" in length. The insides are really pretty, a rainbow iridescent mother of pearl, similar to abalone.

I love that photo of the starfish - so expressive. Glad you got your earmuffs back!

[earthmother45]

I hope we see some when you're here.

You should have seen me when I first saw them. It was such a surprise, at first I wasn't even sure what I was looking at, I just stood there and stared at them for a long time, not believing what I was seeing.

Hey, I don't think you'll need to bring boots (you said to keep your feet warm) because it is supposed to be in the 70s the week you are here. Be sure to bring old, comfortable walking shoes.

That is an expressive photo of the star fish.

And that live pen shell is very interesting.

That's great you got them back. Yes that's a pen shell. I like those things.
