Trash and Treasures....

I continue to do beach clean up at one of the local beaches.
 
Think I have now "rescued" over 15 marine floats.
 
 collected 20, five gallon buckets of misc. plastic
 
 1 green Army man.
 
 Admired sand castles, or what was left of them
 
a wheel, a piece of astro turf, a float with ears and a cute purple bucket.
 
Took your suggestions for decorating my bucket....
 
 duct tape and stickers!!


 
 and lastly, some beautiful sea glass that I hope will become jewelry.

The woman with the blue bucket...

 
 
Since the end of July I have been going out to a nearby beach everyday and
picking up "stuff" and jamming it in my blue bucket.
 
 If you missed the first post concerning my bucket you can Click Here
 
This stuff includes marine floats, plastics, toothbrushes, light bulbs, ball caps, ropes. After I canvas the beach I usually sit and just watch the waves and yesterday I was saddened to see some debris in the waves, rolling over and over again and in time this debris will be dumped upon our sandy shores.
So with my two feet and my blue bucket I will continue to pick up stuff, knowing that my efforts are just a drop in the bucket but, I am doing what I can. Maybe, just maybe one fish, a turtle or my beloved Hawaii Monk Seals will be spared from eating this awful stuff.



 Here are just a few of the floats I've "rescued" think my count is now 10
 
 My blue bucket filled beyond the brim.
I think I need to jazz up my bucket....Got any ideas???
 
 More floats
 
 so much plastic...
 
 One day I found a single fin....
 
 some treasures....sea glass!!!
I think it's Mother Natures way of thanking me.

 one of the most unusual items...some sort of radio from Lockheed Martin.
 
 the largest...part of a boat
approximately4 feet wide

item that traveled the greatest distance perhaps???
anyone know what it says??
