The Elusive Whelk Shells

Anyone that has ever gone beach combing has something special they are searching for ...some it is seaglass ( which I will cover in my next post) or special shells , but most look for perfect whelk shells as their treasure ..These  are pictures of what people do with them ...Me I like the ones not so perfect as my first photo will show ...I love the texture and unknown story behind how that shell became what it is.  I love broken shells I see a beauty in them ...maybe its because I love people who are not perfect in whatever way it is ...and yet I appreciate what they have and are going through...we all have our places on this earth...and all deserve a chance to be happy and made beautiful....
