When I took these pictures, I already had a title in mind but I didn't remember the difference between the two words. I knew that they applied to things washed up ashore but I didn't realize that they were specific terms. Flotsam is the floating wreckage of a ship or its cargo, although over the years I think it's come to mean anything that gets washed ashore. Jetsam is stuff that is thrown overboard to lighten a ship in distress. The stuff you learn. Anway...
I wasn't going to take pictures of stuff lying on the beach but then I saw this bottle sort of washing up on shore. Of course my imagination took over and I imagined that there was a message in it. Sadly there wasn't.
Just a seagull feather. There were quite a few birds flying around yesterday.
Just a fishbone missing a head.
A piece of driftwood. I kind of liked this one because it reminded me of a horn or something.
I'm not even going to begin to imagine this story. Somebody lost a shoe though.
Another piece of driftwood. I liked the way the sand was draped over it.
One more piece of driftwood.
