APHRODITE´S EAR

Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 19 September 2007 in Plants & Nature.

This shell can easily be found in all Greek seas, it takes its name from the ancient Greek goddess Aphrodite, they say she was very beautiful lady, haha.

I have been fascinated by these shells since I was a little girl. The nacre is so magical when you find a shiny one like yours, you've captured it well. It is lovely to have the history along with the image. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment while it was in caretakermode, much appreciated.

I love seashells. This one is very beautiful, and I like the way you photographed it between your fingers. Such colors -- looks something like a miniature abalone.
