I truly love the sound and smell of the ocean, so I had to drive to the beach while I was in Florence on Monday.
A walk on the beach is mandatory to me now. I can't imagine being in Florence and not at least stepping onto the beach...and that camera is usually going to be around my neck.
You can see more photos from my walk here...
I know that I have no room in the Diplomat to collect things now...so I will have to settle for a digital collection of sorts...What better way to collect seashells then by digital camera? You have no sand to clean off...no dust to worry about cleaning off of the shells...or of them breaking while taking them home.
