We recently returned from camping at Cape Disappointment, near Long Beach, Washington. One morning we rode our bikes on the beach at a very low tide and found hundreds of small sand dollars scattered about on the sand. I was so intrigued I stopped and arranged some of them into an 'S'. Dried sand dollars are white, but most of these still looked like they were perhaps living, so I was gentle, and left the arrangement for the upcoming tide to wash them back out to sea. I love their subtle colors.
