Thank you Tina 🙂 I have a thing about seashells, and like to try and photo them where I find them.

Wonder what the other side looks like. This one is attractive enough but I bet the other is possibly pearlescent? Some poor clam is walking around naked.

Lol! You know I can’t remember what the underside was like. 🙂

I especially like the contrast in textures between the sand and the shell. On the other hand, the colors in the sand seem to suggest the kind of ground-up shell that surely is part of it.

I should imagine you are quite right with the sand being ground-up shells and perhaps of the same kind of shell.
