Beach Stones

Seen from directly above, a wash of foam slides back over a bed of wet stones at Torrey Pines. Amber, olive, rust, and slate, each polished smooth by the surf, shine wet in the light. A slower shutter blurs the retreating water to soft white, while every stone below stays sharp. Stand here long enough and you hear it: the low, resonant clatter of stones rolling as each wave washes up and pulls back. The surf has been rounding them this way for centuries. It is the kind of beauty most people walk right past. Beach Stones brings the color and quiet rhythm of the shoreline into your home.
