Wordless Wednesday: Oil-Free Florida Beach

Saturday was The Great VISIT FLORIDA Beach Walk. I walked my 2+ miles at Stump Pass Beach State Park and uploaded it to www.visitfloridabeachwalk.com to show the world my stretch of beach is oil-free .

This week’s image is one of the most interesting things I found that morning, although if I had time, I’m sure I would have found all sorts of groovy sea treasures.

Enjoy!
