Whew, that was close!  ;-p  I got a bit 'rusty' in my absence--almost forgot my
log-in account number as well!

Thanks. Although, it doesn't quite hold up under *close* inspection--the little
rusty bumps/spheres give themselves away.

Yeah, I think you're right. Didn't put enough thought into that. There's a beach
near me that has a very similar look; I need to take another close look at the
grass colors there. (One thing I did notice, *after* completing the scene, is
that beach grass seems to group itself into tight 'clumps', not just randomly
distributed blades. I did use a *somewhat* similar idea for my scene--there are
bare patches-- but it's not the same as in RL.)

That was a bit of unplanned luck!  when I traced the shells onto the dune HF, I
didn't give any actual thought as to how/if they might be partially buried. But
when I saw the result, I said, "Yeah!"
