    So the foot prints are made in soft mud, then fill with a substance that compresses to become harder than that mud, the mud erodes away leaving the harder substance as a raised foot print.

    We used to call that “God Light” because it looks like the light in religious illustrations, and some depictions of haloes.

    According to Google, the manufacturer went out of business before 1932. That bottle's been in the sea for a LONG time. Amazing that it survived intact.

    Posting pictures like this is a public service. I had never even heard of a rip current before when I got caught in one. They're absolutely deadly and most people don't know how to spot them.

    I think it’s funny and adorable when a dog runs, especially a short-legged dog, when their back legs move faster and try to overtake their front legs.

    I always seen sleeping seals like this in Hawaii, especially on the north-shore. But now they have to put rope fence around them and security, because too many morons try to take pictures next to them. Sad.
