This is definitely a fave!!! When I was a kid I used to love the water (especially under water the most) and the fascinating world down there… this is so stunning with the lovely surface just showing and the wonderful smoothness and curves of the sandy bottom – the little crab is perfect – that’s a limo-shell!!! lol! I LOVE this!!! xx
maria paterson replied
thanks maxy, these little hermit crabs love those shells, i thought they would be easy to photography but they can get a pace up when your following them!
