These are called pansy shells. They wash up onto the beach here on the South coast of Africa and are the symbolic emblem of the town where they're found, along with the whale of course.
Whales frequent this bay annually and I saw several this year during the past recent winter season in the south.
The pansy shells are equally rare though. I've walked this particular beach for the past 17 years and only this past month did I find one for the first time.
The odd and unusual thing is that not only did I find 1, but I found 5 in total over the course of a month. It's bizarre. My first ever find after 17 years and I found 2 on the same walk in totally different parts of the beach.
Then a few days later I found another 1. And a few days after that another 2 on one walk. What are the odds of that, after 17 years of no finds?
I feel blessed with a sense of abundance. Curiously, this feeling and find is occurring now, as the crypto currency bull market is upon us and crypto coins are climbing in value once more to legendary new heights.
It's a sign of the times to find such an abundance of pansy shells this past month. Summer is back here in the south.
Cryptocurrency winter is over. It's been 3 years of bear market, especially for Hive coin, which may never recover actually. Particularly since it was removed from a Korean exchange recently, tanking the price.
At least I still have my pansy shells. These are the treasures of the the poor. Trinkets from nature to make up for the loss incurred by Hive coin. It's good to diversify our "assets" hehehe. That's my joke for Hive's poor hodlers who lost so much.
Other coins are doing better thankfully, so diversifying really helps. Like the pansy shell, Hive is really a beautiful piece of tech. However, nobody can find it. It's a hidden gem. It lies there with perfect symmetry and architecture, yet the masses walk on by, they don't buy.
Can you see the frog in the photo above? First time I've seen a frog on this beach.
Fortunately there's a few months left of bull market. So a lucky few, like me, will stumble across some hidden gems because we are patient, willing to wait years, and we spend time in the markets searching for that needle in a haystack, that pale white shell on a pale white beach among millions of other useless white shells.
What more truth can I add... life's a beach after all.
SOL anyone?

Ji thanks, that's a rare good up vote.
It must have been very exciting to find this after walking there for 17 years and never seeing anything like it
Beautiful find.
Beautiful beach dear friend, beautiful photographs
Enjoy this natural gem very muchGood morning dear friend @julianhorack Let's cross our fingers that the #hive finds a tailwind and starts to climb
Thanks for reading and commenting friend. Hive is so feeble. Hardly any users or readers, controlled by a few whales. Unlimited token supply. I spent 6 years working here posting content, gaining tokens, buying tokens, only for the whales to stop voting for me like before, for price to tank and leave me at a big loss of investment, very disappointing to me.
We appreciate your work and your publication has been hand selected by the geography curation team on behalf of the Amazing Nature AN Community. Keep up the good work!
Thanks friend, not many bloggers left here on Hive any more sadly.
