Jewelry for the sand.  Little bitty kelp pods, some with tassels.  And they are sitting pretty on a neck decorated with those lovely tree-like wave patterns.  There’s even an interesting shadow, which I hadn’t noticed when I took the photo.  If one learns to see more, and more clearly, right when using the camera, then the photo angle can be modified to make such things more prominent.  Which is why it’s good to really examine your own photographic work, even after the fact.

The other thing I like about this, though, is that it looks like some of the pods drew the patterns in the sand! They didn’t, but it looks like they could have.   Ah, possibility!
