Hearts on the Beach - Another Walk






Yesterday, we found the beach just full of Pen Shells. I mean THOUSANDS of them! As far as we could see up and down the beach and tumbling in the surf.

Then have a rather rough exterior that looks like feather quills and the insides can be very
iridescent, like a deep blue to purple mother of pearl finish.
We found two that were actually opened flat in the shape of hearts. I don't know how they
survived the tumbling surf. Especially the one with
barnacles inside. That one must have been open for quite some time.
