Ninety minutes of sifting through worn pebbles at the edge of the shore of Lake Ontario on Friday yielded about a half-cup of beach glass in various colors, from clear and clear/blue, to green, brown and blue. Before I moved from Western New York, in the course of three years of frequenting the shoreline at Fort Niagara gathering beach glass, I collected about a gallon of the pieces. Typically, I find from two to six pieces of dark blue glass in a “beach glass session,” and during those three years I found just two or three tiny red pieces.

It seems there is beauty in the experience of being in nature, as well as in collecting the beach glass.

It’s wonderful how nature can make something beautiful out of our rubbish. Shame she can’t manage the same magic with plastic.

Unfortunately, I could see it as another excuse for some who litter.

They can certainly claim that littering doesn’t matter if this is the result.

Wonderful … I get a sense of reverie as beautiful as the glass bits.
Your photo reminds me of the sun-colored bottles my aunt used to collect on the family farm, leftovers from way back when glass was such that sunshine colored it. I have just one of those bottles, likely once a clear medicine bottle, turned a soft lavendar obscure gloss. Intriguing to think: had it been tossed in the sea it might have become multiple fragments to honor multiple pockets.

Thank you, Jazz. I’m told the pale blue glass I find started out as clear.

While in Wisconsin on the shore of Lake Michigan I too found quite a bit of ‘beach glass’, clear, frosted white, greens, shade of blue and brownish reds.
I was also lucky to find some china bits from the sunken ships.
I found a clay fossil too.
I haven’t found anything in particular in my own creek though –
once though after a storm a round egg floated by. I have since discovered that owls lay round eggs. Most other birds eggs have some kind of oval shape.
