Last Saturday we participated in the statewide coastal clean up (which actually was a global event!). We went to the same beach as last year and were quite surprised that we didn't find that much trash.
What we did see a lot of was this pink stuff - and I have no idea whether it is a plant or an animal (remains of jellyfish perhaps?). It is rather common at our beaches and I would like to know what it is - perhaps one of you can enlighten me?
This looks different from the ones in the top pictures:
The pink stuff in the very top picture and the two following ones I find rather fascinating - all these pictures were shot "blind" with my camera sitting directly on the sand.
I know what - or better who - this pink stuff is!
And there are no explanations necessary for this one either. (There were several all over the beach - of course it would be interesting to know WHY they were here.)
Here is the entire family - we're about half way through the beach clean up at this point.
What a great cause. And how wonderful that there was less trash this year.
ReplyDeleteYour pink thing looks a tad seaweedy to me. Fascinating. I do hope that someone more knowledgeable than me knows (and tells you).
Re the roses? I am thinking beach wedding...
I have no idea what the pink stuff is, but you sure have me curious!
ReplyDeletelooks like some sort of weird seaweed to me. I love that shot of the beach with the waves rolling in. Just stunning!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the pink stuff was, but it was very pretty! Love the photos! I think it's great that you and your family went out for the clean up!
ReplyDeleteI admire you and your family for doing the clean up. Don't know about the pink stuff though.

Sounds like a great project, turned into a fun time by the addition of your camera! Sorry I cannot help, but sometimes it's fun to photograph stuff that is visually interesting without all the knowledge behind it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for making our beaches better! And I love the family picture.
