These are really lovely. Very different from what we see in the USA. Love your gallery.

These are beautiful. I’m a collector of shells, but I have nothing like these.
I should have taken up showing my collection years ago, lost interest in them now.
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much. Collecting shells in this region has given me a focus and a chance to explore and I’m loving the process of hunting, finding and photographing them! Doing this blog integrating the shell theme allows me to focus more on them but when I do leave Dubai I’m going to have a lot of clearing out and some decisions to be made !!
