Beach Stones (Almost Wordless Wednesday)

The 2012 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt is almost over!  On Friday, September 21, I will publish a post asking all participants to comment and let me know how many of the items you found during the summer.  Participants will have until Sunday night, September 23 to check-in. I will be giving out two prizes: one chosen from among those who found all 21 of the items and one chosen from among all participants. The prizes will be photography-related and randomly chosen. See you on Friday!
The other day I went for a walk on the beach looking for sea glass. I didn't find much of that, but I did collect a whole bowl full of beach stones.  I took them home and created some still lifes. 
The first one is organic:
The second one is more arranged:
And, for the third one, I let my muse take over:
Got a favorite in today's offering?

    Definitely the third one, it brought a smile to my morning face and lightened my morning grumpiness. Thank you Rinda

    Oh decisions, decisions! I like the form and shape of the third but the colour and hue of the organic arrangement. :-)

    I like the ghost in the second picture and in the third picture top row in the middle the smooth circular shape, because I could turn it in my hand when I'm thinking.
    I have lots of stones like this but never thought of photographing them, I also have a lot of sea washed glass. Rinda, you are such an inspiration to me. Guess what I'll be looking at through my lens today?

    loving that pop of yellow. I didn't get any of my beach stones or shells out this summer - was thinking this the last time you did a beach set of photos. Do love finding interestingly weathered stones and beach glass so pretty.

    I think the collection in the bowl is the one which makes me want to reach out and feel their smoothness in my own hand

    I love your muse. You must live close to the beach, that's nice. I actually like them all Rinda. Have a great rest of the week.
