Sea Glass

I very much enjoy living on the beach and am sure it will never grow tiring.  I am always looking out the window at the beach to see where the tide is and note the changes that happen with each high tide.  I especially love walking along the beach enjoying the ocean breeze and sounds of the waves as they break on the beach and rock cliffs.  Now I have an extra excuse to venture out onto the beach - sea glass.  As the waves wash up on the beach their force jumbles all of the rocks up and their tumbling around, as we all know, eventually causes the stones to become smooth.  As those same rocks tumble around with pieces of glass they also smooth out all of the rough edges of the glass and give them an opaque appearance.   I can spend hours following the beach line searching for tiny treasures hiding out among the rocks and sand.  I may have found a new addiction.
