Oh Gilly, not far I suspect, mostly kelps and sea weeds from around our beach and that blue swimmer crab would have lived out there too, just around the rocks, until a squid or octopus or something else ate all the juicy bits up and left the exoskeleton for us to find on the beach 🙂

buongiorno Cristina, mi arriva il profumo del mare con questa bella immagine dei doni che portano le onde sulla spiaggia…
Hello Cristina, I get the smell of the sea with this beautiful image of gifts that bring the waves on the beach …
An interesting tangle, I wonder how far its travelled.

I agree with Gilly. 🙂 Fascinating pic, Christine.
If humans were as beautiful after death as is that indigo-and-magenta-legged crab, undertakers would be out of business.

The crab is beautiful, even in death.
