translucent scallop shell

that same day this scallop shell being back lit by the sunset as it stood up in the rocks caught my eye!  but i did not have my macro lens with me, only the wide angle...the next day i went back and brought the macro, and sure enough it was still there, right at the edge of the water!  how often does that happen???  and the light was not as sweet for landscape shots as the day before had been so i was not torn about what to concentrate on :)

later i realized that almost a year ago i had found another such scallop shell being backlit - i guess i like them!!
