Beach Life





I started off today's blog thinking about how well camouflaged the shells in the first picture are, how well they blend with the colour of the rock. I also thought what good protection these shells have provided for the inhabitants as you can see they are chipped and worn but the creatures inside were clearly alive and clinging onto the rock for dear life.

Then I have ended the selection with the bright yellow shell in the final picture. This one was empty and its' occupant had left it behind or perhaps even been eaten by some predator or other, I love the colour and on a beach where everything else seemed to be shades of grey it really stood out. I wonder what purpose this bright colour has.
