On Saturday I called them “disturbing, unpretty yellowcaps.”

I get why they are disturbing. Our eyes are accustomed to seeing a gentle blueish white in the highlights off the top of the sea. The yellow color is wrong.

But is it “unpretty”?

If we adapt, will our eyes eventually adjust? Will our children’s children’s midwestern inlaws come to the coast in November for the  glittering yellowcap season?

Hmm.
