AN OLD FAVORITE - LEAF ON THE SAND

Another old photo. This was found on a beach in Florida on our last visit there several years ago.  An old leaf full of glistening sand.


The beach is full of treasures not necessarily made of gold.  The fun is in the hunt for them, to open our eyes we just have to look outside the box. 

A little like life I think.

Thanks so much for dropping by.
I wish you all a great day!

    1. Wonderful! I spent a good part of my single life near the ocean and a good part of my married life near it too. I still miss being close to it :) Love the photos you have shared of your beachy collectibles, quite beautiful! Thanks Debbie!

  3. wow! Do you know what? This looks like one of those fancy bowls that look like a leaf. I have several different kinds of them. It really looks kind of like a leaf candy dish!
