Sand dollar, Cannon Beach, Oregon

In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.

      The other side of this one was worn away, so technically I suppose it was a half dollar. But cool I thought!

    Love this picture. Reminds me of when I was younger and we would find them at the beach, bring them home and bleach them for decoration. Yeah, I didn’t know that we were killing them. I promise it is a good memory though…no matter how twisted! 🙂

    Great photo with the individual grains of sand and the almost whole Sand Dollar. Perfect quote to accompany it. Makes for an awesome post!
