Good evening readers of the blog.  Here’s another fun shot from one of my morning walks to the ocean.  This was taken along the waters edge and left high and dry as the tide slowly went out.  The leaves are all from Mangrove trees that grow all along the coast and the pretty green thing is an internal skeleton of a dead sea urchin called the interambulacral area.  Many of my morning walks consist of looking for these urchins and carefully bringing them home, a difficult task considering they are about as fragile as an egg!  I have a whole pile of these things here at the house, I want to eventually use them in a fun photo with all of their different shades together. 
 
It was another very busy day at work and tomorrow is the same, Aimee had the day off and pretty much just relaxed all day without having to go do anything stressful!  Have a great weekend, Barry
