Description
Two people, a dad and his daughter, walking along the shore looking for pretty shells. There are about 240 species of shells living in the Adriatic Sea. A majority of shells live along the coast and in the lower sea, attached to rocks or in the sand which makes it easier to pick them up. Most seashells can be picked up by hand without any special equipment, either from the shore or the sea. This makes them easily reachable so, unfortunately, they are over-hunted due to their tasteful meat or attractive shell which many people want to keep as a souvenir.
When I was a child we used local names for the shells, called cape (pr. kappae, plural of capa pr. kappa, Venetian for shell, Italian conchiglia). The Cardium shells were called capa regina or queen shell, the spiny whelks of the Murex family, used to produce the famous purple dye, were the garagoli (something linke gargoil), then we had the fans, the Madonna's nails, the peoci (lice, the mussels), etc. After a storm we found stars, crabs and sea horses among the weeds and driftwood as well as some giant jelly fish.
Thank you for your kind comments.

Sandra, allow me to say how delighted I was to see you continue this series for a bit longer. This may be my favorite capture so far as it involves a Father and his Daughter spending a moment together that more than likely they will always cherish. I very much enjoyed the memories you shared with us on the shells, and also find it a bit sad they are over-hunted now.

Your Lido beach sounds like a lovely place to walk early in the morning with a low tide and plenty of sand! A wonderful photo and you "painted" a lovely picture in my mind! La tua spiaggia Lido suona come un bel posto per passeggiare la mattina presto con una bassa marea e un sacco di sabbia! Una foto meravigliosa e una bella foto "dipinta" nella mia mente!
