All that swell we had has dredged up a loads of stuff from the depths and chucked it onto the beach. These foolish kelp were too young to know that a mussel wasn't a good thing to put their trust in when times got tough and ended up pulling the mussel off the rock and dooming both parties to a dry grave when the sea got rough.
Nature sure knows how to catch my eye. Anyone familiar with a colour wheel will have spotted that Mussel Blue and Kelp Orange are almost perfect complimentary colours according to the chart so I scooped a load of them up to take home and photograph as I thought they looked so darn pretty! I even got some gear and flashes out to give them the platform such a display of colour coordination deserved.
