Pen Shell-4
As I wandered the beaches of Sanibel Island recently, I encountered thousands of these large clams pictured above which are generally known as pen shells, and I began photographing them. This one benefitted from the sun's backlighting, making it appear to glow. The shells are fairly thin, and more than once I've inadvertently broken specimens I was transporting home.
