Jasper and I went to the beach after I got off of work today. The only bags they had down there were huge. I didn't think I'd fill it, but don't you fret! People are messy and there was plenty of garbage to go around. Unfortunately, my phone died towards the end so I didn't get to take any final pics. Bummer! I stuffed that bag FULL and it was colorful.There were so many more pieces of garbage shoved into that bag. I filled every nook and cranny. It was like an amazing junk bouquet! Stupid camera phone. :( So I didn't get to take a pic of those plastic tubey things I mentioned before. We shall try again next time.
On the trip North we walked the water line and looked at all the sea treasures that had washed up.
A sand dollar with its hair still on. These pics don't show it well at all but it's purple. A pretty shell.
On the trip back we walked closer to the hill where driftwood and crud washes up. That's where the Operation Fishy "treasures" are. One minute I was telling Jasper all the neato junk I was picking up. He would look at it and smile. The next time I tried to show him something he was like this.
Washed up garbage:
HUGE length of rope. It filled up my bag pretty full.
Swirly, curly Q plastic. Like it was drilled out of a big chunk of plastic.
Tent stake
Plastic tubies of multiple colors.
Lids - milk jugs, soda bottles, anything else you can think of.
Shotgun casing
Cap for plumbing
VHS case - half of it anyways. Who uses those anymore anyways? I guess that's why it was washed up.
More laundry basket chunks - different colors this time.
Styrofoam - bunches and bunches.
Plastic of all different kinds. I picked up hard, squishy, melted, soft.
Board from a building
Plastic industrial straps
Plastic bag - wrapper of some sort?
Cap to a seasoning bottle - salt or pepper
Spork
Lighter with fluid in it - in all fairness, it could have been sea water.
Grizzly tobacco chew container - the whole thing
And, of course, I'm sure I'm leaving some out.
Be a part of Operation Fishy and remember: Anemones aren't enemies!
