Meanwhile, the museum site is a windswept lot of shore grasses, pebbles and a few bottles.
There aren't, but the children may spot hawks and sparrows, and enjoy the sights and scents of wild rose, honeysuckle, shore grasses and prickly-pear cactuses.
For instance, populations of the Atlantic coast shore-grass Spartina alterniflora stabilize cobble beaches, which are then occupied by a diverse community of other plants (and their associated animals) that would otherwise be excluded (Bruno and Kennedy 2000).
Mangrove swamps along the shore and sea grass beds in shallow water provide food and protection for marine life.
Even bad golf is enhanced at Pacific Dunes, a walking-only course that seems to sprout from the sand, gorse, beach grass and shore pines that characterize this stretch of coast in remote southern Oregon.
Memory is the onion of the title: 'Peeled, it renews itself; chopped, it brings tears; only during peeling does it speak the truth.'

Algae and intertidal plants can be found on the shore, including salt meadow grass, sedge and sphagnum moss.
Bayside winds sometimes disturb the flat shore lands, animating marsh grasses and crops and adding a portentous shiver to the already desolate stretches.
Continuous grazing and reduced soil moisture content, both during low rainfall and increased distance from the lake shore, affected the composition of pasture grasses as well as forage yield and quality.
