travels + adventures ~ beach combing ~ ventura

So, I finally got around to getting up the photographs from my birthday beach combing adventures. And there was a surprise in store- I had forgotten about this gem! All & all I had fun taking photographs, stalking baby seals & petting gigantic starfish, even though I was not very successful in unearthing any note worthy seashells.
