Shells on Philbin Beach in Martha's Vineyard.
We just returned from a wonderful visit in Martha's Vineyard. Each morning except one we walked 2 miles on Philbin beach - once in fog, several times with partly cloudy skies, and the rest in beautiful sunlight. The sand was firm near the surf and perfect for walking. We saw one live orange crab, one dead baby shark, and several cormorants that visited the rocks daily. But there were almost no shells to be found, except slipper shells. These are almost the only ones I could take back to the house to paint.
