1. Love these pix…thanks! And I’m forwarding the link to beachcombers that I know and love.

2. We were out tromping one of our favourite beaches this afternoon, taking photos, trying out the new metal detector and sitting on a log drinking steaming hot coffee. It was a *gorgeous* day! I sent that article on particles of sand to a relative last week. It validates my view of life and human beings. We’re all grains of sand but we’re also unique individuals…some more special than others:)

3. Beautiful. I sent the link to my gkids.

4. We do live on an amazing planet..Talk about m
   stop and smell the flowers.

5. Nice pictures. Most of the sand grains pictured are tiny fossils, the tests of diatoms, foraminifera, and other sea life. They certainly didn’t originate in rivers as the sidebar suggests.
   I prefer the nice white crystalline quartz sand myself, with just a touch of brown crude oil stain for contrast.

6. Great pics, interesting photo technique.

7. Neat pics, but not what I needed to see. Now I have to pack along a microscope on my next visit to Florida and think about what I’m walking on when I photograph neat fractal patterns in the sand. The whole idea of getting out on a beach is to get some exercise but might find myself limited to a few square feet of sand as I look at every sand grain at high magnification.

8. Just read this piece by The Spectator’s best writer, Jeremy Clarke. Normally I can go years without thinking about sand.
