Glass Beach is a protected beach, but not for its natural beauty. Located just outside of Fort Bragg, California it became an illegal dumping ground for residents in the late nineteenth century who lacked any kind of refuse pickup. It wasn’t until 1967 that the illegal dump was finally closed by city leaders and the local water board. The beach was cleaned of large refuse, but small pieces of glass and plastic that had been worn down by the elements remain, giving the beach its name and its unusual beauty.

preparing for a pool party
on being a pool party hostess:
- frantically clean up the apt so when the party moves indoor (which i am almost 100% certain it will)…
- google pool games to play ;)
- buy some snacks hehe
- worry about transportation and towels and other little things
- wonder about dinner (frozen pizza? lasagna? go out to eat? store close by?)
- pray it’s fun!

the apt looks cleaner that it has for a long time, lol. i blame finals. and well, i guess it’s a college pool party so nobody really cares. except for me. haha
how intriguing. imagine a photography collage of butterfly pictures across a wall.

French artist Rachel Lévy photographs flowers that are past their prime: wilting, fading and revealing visible signs of decay. Nonetheless, captured in the last fleeting moments before perishing, they are strikingly beautiful.
