    Instead of photographing the trash I picked up on the beach today, I decided to snap a shot of the nearby nature instead.  Happy Earthday!!!

    picked up a bag full of trash on the beach tonight and salvaged some line that had washed ashore.

    Lots of plastic trash washed up on the beach this morning after yesterday's high winds...not to worry though, it's all now back in a proper trash receptable and not the ocean!
