Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Early Good Friday morning we wandered Balnarring Beach on the Mornington Peninsula.
There we found this beautifull patterned shell, with a very much alive sea creature inside.
You can just see a little of him peeping out on the right.

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I'm a shelling enthusiast, but only if they are empty. Some of them are stunningly beautiful.

The patterns on the shell are wonderful..
We lived about a 10 minute walk from the beach, when I was living back home in New Zealand. One of my favourite things was t look for inteesting shells. I really miss it..

Love the shell and your haiku. Beautiful!
The shell does have a very intriguing pattern on it and such a delightful piece of prose to go with it!

Not your usual critter, but a unique beauty
Looks like you stumbled upon a shy critter - it's cool how you can just make out part of him.
Happy Easter!!
