words from a poem...
" watching the horseshoe crab
churn the bottom of their sandy basin
as if the shore were a halfway house
and not part of the deeper sea."

Love the POV and simplistic beauty of this!!!

I appreciate the simplicity of this image resulting from the low angle of view, and also the warm colours of the shell against the cool background. The image seems to capture and hold my attention, and my eyes choose to linger as if they have a mind of their own.
