Neat looking bug! I've not heard of a snail-eating beetle, but then if the snail is stranded, it's fair game!

Thanks for sharing!

I always wonder what the glass was before it was converted to art.

Quoting Hotzenwaelder:
I always wonder what the glass was before it was converted to art.


So many types..... bottles, decorative and dinnerware, perfume bottles, soda bottles, wine, beer, spirit bottles, apothecary, poison, cleaners, you name it, if it was made of glass from the late 1800s through the late 1960s, I can almost guarantee you, that for now, that's what kinds of glass you will find. Pottery varies according to what people collected around here and according to what was useful, as well as according to where it was imported from. I've found pieces from Germany, England, Japan, China, Taiwan, Spain, Italy, and I know of others who have found pieces from Russia, Portugal, France, etc.

Certain decisions about the future of the two southernmost sites where the sea glass can be found, are being formulated for more discussion soon. I am hopeful that our city will make the right decisions; ones that have appeal to everyone in every way possible. :)

Good one, Lisa! Exceptional clarity on this macro, and such an interesting subject. I, too, hope that the city makes a decision that allows this unique place to be enjoyed by both those of you who are near, and those of us who enjoy these images from afar.

About Feather3
Feather3 Have lived on the Mendocino coast of California for almost 27 years. I have sold some photos, so I guess that makes me a freelance professional? :)I hope you enjoy these! My passion in art is drawing in pen and ink: birds. I have severe carpal tunnel that, while it seems to be getting better, has made it difficult to draw the smaller, finer details I was used to doing before - so in 2006, I took up photography and in July of 2012, the FujiFilm FinePix HS25 XD came into my life :) - It is an amazing piece of equipment -- with many features including a 30X wide-angle capability that has simply astound me time after time........I have been drawing again, however, and am thankful! :) Exercises for the carpal tunnel nerve have helped *tremendously* thanks for a few folks here on WU! :) U NO HOOOO U R ....As a former wildlife rehabilitator (1986-2003), I frequently will receive calls to rescue wild birds - there are a few shots of these in my gallery, but I prefer to catch and turn in to a local vet or another rehabber, or catch and release, as the case may be, without a lot of stress to the critter by taking photos of an injured, scared animal.In my life I have also been a naturalist for a local nature center and have led nature hikes to identify area plant life as well as wildlife. It is from this perspective that I enjoy sharing my photos of the same, not having had the pleasure during my short stay at the nature center, but loving it all nonetheless. I think WunderGround is a lot of fun and have been enjoying this site tremendously - meeting other photog's from all over the world is one of the best - but seeing their photos! WOW! :)Be sure to visit my website - launched on 09/09/09, called Sunrise Sea Glass! Click on my website link to visit
