Description

I found this beautiful treasure on the beach while on our recent holiday in Namibia. It is a white mussel (clam) shell. Fishermen use them for bait and they are everywhere. I just love the colors and the texture of this once living creature and this one was positioned perfectly to catch some of the rather overcast light! Thank you for popping in and for your very valued comments and favs on my desert patterns upload. You guys all rock! Take care! Hugs, Carin xx

Beautiful shot Carin! I love shells and have many that I have collected over the years. Funny tho that the same kind of shell here doesn't have those pretty colors, just plain white...still worth collectig:-) (((CARIN)))

I know these guys live underwater, and yet they manage to capture the colors of a sunset in their shells. They must come to shore and watch the sunsets when we're not around. Excellent presentation.

What a fantastic looking shell Carin, I hope you took it home with you, it would look lovely at the base of a plant. My daughter still picks things up where ever she goes, like pebbles and shells as a momento of her visit. Excellent capture. Bravo!!!!! A wash down and a coat of clear varnish will make it look wet and shiny.
