Northern Exposure

Beach heart

I’m a day late for the hearts for heroes challenge, because I have no idea which day or date it is anymore.

This wee heart just presented itself. Judging from the tracks and beak prod holes leading up to it we assumed it was from an oyster catcher hunting for tasty morsels in the sand. Most of the holes were just ordinary holes but this one was a definite heart shape.
