Little things like traces of wetness on a kelp blade; remnants of a fallen tide.
Little things like intertidal intrigues played out in the mist before a coastal forest.
And for beachcombers, little things like the prettiest washed up nassa. (A perfectly fitting empty nassa is a hermit crab’s dream.)

The opening image is magical, wow! The details of the shells are all beautifully captured.
Thanks for sharing
And thanks to you for picking an inspiring challenge topic!
Magical is exactly the word I would have used if Amy hadn’t beaten me to it Steve. You have a keen eye for the wonders many would just walk on past. Loved all of these.
Thanks a ton, Tina. Every little thing, right?
I go beachcombing just looking at your pictures. Thank you.
I’m happy to hear it. Come along any time. Thanks so much!
Quite simply exquisite! Momma Nature at her finest (and you, the artist, to catch and capture it.) 😊
There’s nothing like exquisite nature. It’s rewarding to share a few glimpses of it with appreciative people like yourself. Means a lot to me. Thank you.
Your post and challenge inspired my latest post- https://gunta.photos/2022/05/23/tiny-neighbors
(I don’t think I did the ‘ping back’ thing correctly, but the inspiration was (how shall I say it?) inspiring! 😏
Beautiful post and photography!
Thank you so much, Anne. It was a fun challenge for me.
Some of my favorite little things beautifully presented!
Thanks, Lindy. It was hard to narrow it down. I guess everybody struggles with that.
Beautiful photos. I don’t think I’ve ever seen dog winkles feeding. It’s a wonderful photo
Thank you, I.J. That scene is a favorite of mine. It looks so peaceful, it’s easy to miss what’s going on.
A magical world of little magical things, Steve! Stunning header shot.
Lovely details. Try as I might, I can’t make photos of seaweed look interesting. Yours show how it should be done!
Well thank you, Judith. I’m not sure I’m a good role model for how it should be
Sorry, I accidentally hit send. Anyhow, I say your seaweed shots are better than you think!
Your tideline images encourage me to look more closely at our local beach. I usually end up taking photos of rocks and sand instead of seaweed!
