Witchhazel in the Wild

Love this photograph by A Fish Out of Water, based in Japan. Perfect for this snowy weather, even if halfway across the world.

Dreaming of Summer

Here are some shots of some shells and stones along Marblehead last summer.

Since the snow is slowly starting to melt, I am thinking ahead for this summer’s shell and rock expedition.  Any suggestions on beach combing spots in northern Mass.?
