a gift

today my neighbour gave me some amazing shells.  you will be seeing more of them in due course.  his grandparents lived in Bermuda, and i think his parents spent some time in Australia. 

this one is iridescent, and the smallest of them at 3.5" x 2.5"  i will try to do it justice another time.  

i see the shape of a seahorse here.

one of them is the biggest shell i've ever seen.
