 Vellela Vellela. Or, "By-the-Wind Sailors," are a free floating hydrozoan animal which live on the surface of the water.  They feed on planktonic crustaceans such as copepods. This one's upside down, and still has some tentacles attached.  They are related to jellyfish, as well as sea anemones. In this shot you can see a bit more of the sail shape - and an idea of the amount that was on the beach.  I thought it was plastic litter at first. Anyway, Bowie helped cleanup.  ^_^ NPS

 Glass Beach delivered on glass, but it was also low tide, and we had more fun with that. Pudding Creek Trestle And a park in town. Bonus!   We drove down a little more south and checked out the pier in Point Arena.  I love this picture. And the lighthouse.

 With rains in the forecast, we headed south.  First stop, Russian Gulch State Park. We got a cabin nearby at the Caspar Beach Campground. It was a beautiful site.

 Black Sands Beach. Seal Rock. And some more forest from the drive between. I found a four leaf clover!

  Mattole River. And from the forest you drive through to reach the beach. Around camp.
