This pebble is truly a deep, charcoal-purple hue. It sat alone on a heavily pebbled tide line, as if to say, “Notice me!”  I took this little stone home, because it is so unusual.

I find this photo particularly peaceful; the color of the stone, the five grains of sand on its surface, and the miniature reflection of the sun in the droplet all pull me in and serve as a reminder to relax. Enjoy.
