Robert writes, "Once I crossed the stream at Ruby Beach, I was able to travel further and explore more of the 'haystacks' at the ocean's edge. Upon my return, while doing a little rockhounding, I happened upon sea foam displaying these colors. The phenomenon was brief, only lasting for a short while.

No doubt, passers-by were wondering what this guy was doing squatted down with his camera taking pictures of what appeared to be nothing but foam. I think I was the only one noticing this 'event'; this is a colorful image of what they were missing!"
