Sandman

I first saw him working the beach in July. It was a beached whale...

I didn't bother him, just took a few quick shots from the pier.

Then today I found a dog with all his belongings on the beach by the pier.

He'd started "tinkering" right after high tide started going down. I asked him how he gets the color on n I guessed right, non-toxic spray paint used with a very light, loose touch.
Such patience he has...

That's Sandman monitoring his work by the pier n the main beach as he awaits the evening free concert. My cam was facing the Sun n gave him an odd purple marker, which has only happened once before on the haunted hill across from my house.
He was nice to chat with, n from out of town, but visits often.
