A Tiny Treasure from the Ocean
On a recent trip to Brighton Beach with a friend, we decided to fossick through the tide line of seaweed for treasures washed up from the ocean. There were mussel shells, sea urchins, different types of seaweed and so many interesting shells amidst the sand. I was very taken by this tiny snail shell which is partially green and partially iridescent. I liked it so much, I brought it home to add to my small collection of small shells.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, which incidentally will be the final weekly “Snap Happy” theme before reverting to monthly on the 5th of December, is “anything at all… as long as it is small” which was chosen by me.
I thought this tiny snail shell was a good choice for the theme. I hope that you think so too!
The Melbourne suburb of Brighton, like its name sake in England, sits by the sea. It has a long, curved bay which is also home to its most popular destination, Brighton Beach. It has beautiful white sand and sparkling water. Brighton Beach also boasts a line of 82 bathing boxes that were built between the turn of the Twentieth Century and the 1930s by the well-heeled citizens of Brighton. They provide a striking, colourful backdrop to the shoreline, creating a well-photographed spot.
