I went with my first thought, pretty but no use for it. Then I read the other posts and saw so many uses. Palace for a hermit crab, prayer bead, source of wonder . . . Sorry, but my first post was the wrong blog address.
Great photo! I almost had a poem finished, then changed it completely! Here's the result: http://lolamousedroppings.blogspot.com/2011/06/shell-collector.html
There once was a mollusc, named Pete, Whose stomach doubled up as his feet. When the meal was quite grand He could no longer stand And had to look 'round for a seat.
Play- cannot resist play- at least today.Thanks.
