let’s face it. this beautifully blemished cockle shell would be quite boring without those barnacles. they look like well used molars, and anything with the air of having gnawed on a bit of life over the years earns the word “beautiful” in my dictionary.
cockle shell with barnacles

Love this shell, i have some similar ones from the same area. I love the Japanese word “shibui” – worn or unobtrusive beauty.
Oh, this is beautiful <3
