Transition-Trash to Treasure
Transition-Trash to Treasure
You guys already know how much I am loving the sea glass. Every time I go to the beach I find some. No matter which beach I go to. There must have been a lot of trash dumping in the Puget Sound back in the day. I’m pretty sure there still is trash dumping, but hopefully not as much as 100 years ago. Part of me thinks…”How awful they dumped all the trash in the water.” Then when I find sea glass treasures, I’m kinda glad they did dump trash in the sound.
These images seemed to be the perfect subject for this weeks photo prompt, Transition. The transition from trash to treasure.
A bunch of blues.
A bunch of greens.
This is a driftwood heart I found a few weeks ago. I also found all these small pieces of sea ceramic and thought that attaching the ceramic to the wood was a good idea.
I like the way it turned out.
What do you think about the transition from trash to treasure?
These images of sea glass are also available for purchase on my website-Mary Hone Photography
Oh Mary, OMG!!!!!!!!! Those images, the first ones especially of the sea glass stacked up, I THINK THESE ARE MY FAVORITES! The colors are that cool blue that I love, and the texture, so perfect! The way you stacked them up, focused on just them; it’s as if you created a poem buy structuring the image in just the right way. These are outstanding! Now you’re making me think I need to get out my sea glass from the years we spent living across from Beverly Cove, Massachusetts!
You need to get it out and take some photos. I’d love to see what you have.
Hello, the sea glass is beautiful. Lovely images and I like your pretty heart. Have a happy day!
your photos are art pieces, they would make fabulous wallpapers. I will look for seglass when we visit the beach next time…but probably I will find only weird things there…the only thing I brought home from the beach by now was a 5-cent coin… better than nothing :o)
I’m glad you like the photos. I was pretty thrilled with the way they turned out too. They would make pretty wallpapers. And a five cent coin is cool too.
I think these are GLORIOUS!
Love it, absolutely beautiful! Love Dolly
Great stuff! I bet some of it comes from Japan.
Beautiful treasures. Love these soft colors.:)
I absolutely love your driftwood heart…Very special.
Gorgeous! The beach setting is perfect too! Could be a tropical island if I didn’t know where you really were.
I will take out those pieces! I remember we found one of the aqua pieces and we always treasure that! You inspire, Mary. XOXOX
I love the sea glass too! I haven’t been to the ocean in a long time but, as a girl, I used to search for it along the Atlantic coast. I loved sea glass like you do. Great photos of it!
absolutely exquisite!!! Just beautiful!
These are beautiful photos. I’d love to know what that pink glass was originally – probably some kind of bowl. That was a deeply molded pattern to have lasted even after being tossed around in the sea! I like the ceramics on the driftwood – you always manage to find heart-shaped things. I think it’s a wonderful metaphor for your lifestyle. :)
Everything is so beautiful! Love. Love. Love.
I LOVE sea glass. When we are down in North Carolina and I walk the beach, that’s what I look for. Yes, they still dump trash in the Ocean, I was disappointed to learn that when I sailed on the USS Lincoln from San Diego to Seattle.
Not sure of the history on the west coast, but on the east coast there are lots of sunken ships so I imagine some of the sea glass could come from that.
Those are so cool! I think I told you I had a friend who was hunting for sea glass last time we were at the beach. I didn’t really get it at the time, but you have me wanting to go hunt for it too (though she didn’t find any where we were in Maine)!
