Marilyn Green was prepared with a piece of paper and a penny, as perspective is important. Her mission was to find the tiniest shells and photograph them.

They are quiet beautiful, aren't they? Marilyn didn't keep them; she returned them to the beach, perhaps to be discovered by a child.

Thanks to Marilyn for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Once again the fog has draped itself over the Mendonoma coast. It is, of course, sunny when you head eastward a bit, but for many of us fog is what we have woken up to today. Yesterday, the sun came out on the immediate coast around noon. With the car show happening at the Gualala Arts Center, I was happy for them that the fog cleared. LOTS of vintage cars in town and LOTS of car fans too.
