Beachcombing

Here are just a couple of the many interesting things we saw on the shore as we walked.

A cannonball jellyfish. I thought the shape was a combination of Yoda and Darth Vader.

I was struck by the beautiful coloring of this blue crab claw.

I did not collect either of these, as the claw was stinky and the jellyfish was….well, a jellyfish.

But this shell was my prize. It is the largest whole moon snail I have ever found.

The usual ones are little larger than my thumbnail.

A nice keepsake from a nice weekend trip.
