When in nature, many things are like whispering to you. Not by words, of course, but by the circumstances they represent. Those "whispers", if we are aware of that, then it is heard as the noise of a life that never stops. It's just, it's with no words. So, when we feel lonely, or even a sadness, we can run to nature. There is a lot of "noise" that can certainly be entertaining, I think, even without the words being heard.
For example, when I'm on a tropical beach - even though I'm not feeling lonely, let alone sad - and observe the slightly sloping shoreline. At that time, I think, nature began to whisper or tell stories about the wind pushing the waves closer to the shoreline. The waves transport sediment to the surf zone, and it is clear how the sand along the coast is affected by the actions of the waves. This movement is known as beach drift.
The beach drift. This is where the story actually climaxes, because it is in this beach drift that seashells are found. The exoskeletons of the invertebrate animals found there, with their variety of shapes and colors, seem like a delightful exhibit of nature. Various shells of marine molluscs, mostly bivalves (mollusks consisting of two hinged valves), display a vibrant underwater life there. There are also gastropod shells or sea snails from the Turritella genus. Another shell seen there is also the shell of the Mangrove horseshoe crab or Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda which has a round tail (telson). Moreover, various things, originating from the land appear to have been moved by the waves towards the shore, which sometimes tell of dead wood trees carried by the flood to the estuary, or by abrasion, and sometimes of dead animals, even down to the feathers of birds. These are fragments of dead organisms called Detritus. While some other things like hermit crabs and sand crabs do live there.
It's all like whispering, making "noise", telling about many things. It all then makes a kind of entertaining. And it's all that, also, that allows me to create my new collection for stock images, which, I hope, will please you, and that you can use. Thank you, and see you in my next collection.
