Orange Ya Glad I Didn't Say Banana?


Orange beach glass is a rare find, but Gary managed to pluck this gem during our walk on Saturday.

It was a wee bit chilly around the edges and some of the treasures we found were frozen into the sand, but that didn't stop us from using rocks and sticks to chip away the frozen bits to free the objects of our desires.  Although, there was a trick to it ~ one beautiful mother of pearl shell ended up right back in the lake.  It shot out like a tiddly wink piece, which was pretty entertaining (it doesn't take much to amuse me).

I found a small piece of a muddy yellow colored beach glass, which we haven't seen before either.

Gary tested his shoes to see if they really were waterproof, while I remained a safe distance back on the beach...kinda like Marlin Perkins being in the cushy office while Jim was out with the wild boar. 

We found quite a bit of beach glass in all shapes and sizes.  Lots of white, green, and brown glass, but we also came back with some aqua pieces that are very nice.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with them....
