Sand...

……………....…Dollar


This is from a ‘Junk Box’ of shells and beach finds - instead of the suggested junk drawer item, for the Tiny Tuesday challenge suggested by MaryEliza.


Using an extension tube on my 35mm lens I was amazed to see this remarkable detail on the flat side of this sand dollar - so much beauty provided by nature.

I know all photos look best in large, but some definitely look much better in large - and this is one of them! 




I’m delighted with your response to yesterday’s magnificent Kotuku - a rare native bird of NZ. Thank you so much for the many comments, stars and hearts.
