The Baltic coast (we were actually on an island) is a good place to find amber. I woke up early one morning and got to the beach shortly before sunrise for a walk and to look for sea glass. After two summers (five weeks) of never finding any amber, I didn't really expect to find any.

But as fate would have it, shortly after the sun came up I saw a rich golden piece of small amber sitting on top of a shell. I was Like WOW and picked it up. I knew it must be amber because of the color and it was soft and light. Then I was amazed that it was presenting itself on the white shell so I placed it back and took a picture. Just when I took the picture the water rushed up and almost touched the shell so I quickly picked it up again.

I have the amber in a small jar so I can look at it. We have a lot of sea glass in a large jar. 😊

A jogger nearly stomped and possibly buried that sea glass and the water nearly too it back but I was on it!
