Macro Monday - Beach Stones

While I was down at Waratah Bay last week I was surprised by how much variation there was in the composition of the sand and stones that made up the beach.  Within a few strides the beach would go from pure sand to stones, back to sand and then be made of stones of a different size.





I suppose that its all down to the force of the tides and the shape of the waves.   What looked like a bare stretch of beach turned out to have some good detail hidden in it!

You can find more macro shots at Macro Monday.

You can find the latest post to my other blog by clicking on the Paying Ready Attention image on the RHS of the screen.

Enjoy the close ups.

    I love beach stones. We were lucky to walk on a stone beach in Acadia. Signs saying DO NOT take any. Only wish I could have. But, I would never break the rules. What beautiful pictures. Were you allowed to take any?

    I noticed that when we were on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Maine earlier this month--what the beaches were made up of changed frequently. Very relaxing to wander the beach.

    Nice pictures you show.
    Always interesting to see what the water washed up on shore.
    Wish you a good new week :)
