Losing sunglasses on the beach is a common hazard of our sandy lifestyle. But recently on Siesta Beach, on the southernmost boundary at Point of Rocks, a rusty chain-link barrier held a row of sunglasses—perhaps washed ashore by the waves and assembled by an artistic beachgoer. While the lost shades will remain at the beach, visitors fortunately can take their memories home.
