seashells on the sea shore

I don't think you can see them all that well but there are little tiny sea creatures living inside each shell - maybe they are their shells I don't know - but their little heads, or arms or legs or something come out of the shells and wave around, as though they are peeking out at you and waving. The first day we walked along the beach there were dozens of these washed up but the next two days that we were there we did not see any. It was utterly fascinating to watch them all moving in and out. I have never witnessed such a thing before in my life, so it made my turning 50, "howling at the moon" weekend very special to see them. Next day there was no evidence of them so I assume, I hope, that they got washed back out on the next high tide.

Things like that make one realise what a wonderful world we live in.
