Hi,
Autumn leaves are falling here in the Pacific Northwest, but the weather has been pretty good for the beach.
I don't know what it's like where you live, but I'm sure that there are changes in your weather, and weather changes generally produce good conditions for sea glass hunting.
Lin and I went to North Beach, Port Townsend today to get some exercise (sea glass was just an excuse right?) with very good results.
Lin was so excited about finding a marble and also a tiny blue glass bead. Both had been hiding out on in the rocky shoreline for a good long time.
You see it hiding in the rocks? Kind of?
 Sea Glass Marble found by Lin
This is a well-worn marble. One surface was actually flattened somewhat. There are bubbles in the glass. The blue is transparent, the white is opaque.
On the way back, Lin saw a blue speck up at the high tide line in the rocks. At first she thought it was a small piece of sea glass. When she picked it up, she saw the hole and realized she had found a real rare bead.
 Sea Glass Bead found by Lin
It is opaque and cobalt blue with specks. It's very small. I wasn't near her to get a photo on the beach, so the photo is taken here at home under a lamp - not the best conditions for a photo, buy hey, it turned out OK. Again, how does Lin see these little tiny things nestled in the rocks, especially when the rocks are wet and all kinds of colors???
Who knows how she does it; and me, well, I'm glad she does! :-)
We picked up a lot of sea glass. The tide was very strange at North Beach.
Today, the tide was low at 8:55 a.m., 3.6 feet; high tide at 3:11 p.m. of 8.8 feet. Then drop of over 9 feet to a low tide of -0.7 at 9:35 p.m.
These tides will be even more drastic with the tidal difference going over 10 feet this month. Tides like these really scour the beach, going way up to the top of the beach and dropping way down. We caught it in the middle somewhere, but there was a lot of surface showing, and we could see a lot of stuff had been turned over by the high tide. Good pickin's!

For us with no kids at home, September is a good month with less beach-goers. It was also a good month for the Odyssey Sea Glass Photo Contest... For September, 2011, we happily announce the winner - "Colorful Memories" by Giselle Savoie of Ste-Madeleine , Quebec, Canada. Congratulations Giselle! Following is the list of runnerups for the contest. Check them all out!
