The colored version, I like the b/w one better

I'm rather fond of this snailshell perhaps because there's no snail inside! It stays in the garden getting prettier and prettier, looking like pretty china.

Many thanks for your friendship, comments, invites and good wishes. Also thank you to those who have made me their contact. Due to poor health, eye problems and low energy I regret I can't take on any new contacts but nearly always manage to reply to your comments.

One invite welcome-more, too many.

Under the Brick I saw a myriad creatures scurry...

I spent a lot of time with the girlies on the beach. We collected snail shells, hermit crabs, crabs, sea glass, and rocks. We left the live creatures on the beach.
