I have found this nice shell at “Lido Sottovento”, Gallipoli. I like to swim with goggles, searching for life forms to observe. When I find a shell, or something else that could be collected, I bring it and maintain in my wonderful ice-cream boxes!!!
Every summer in this way I increase my collection: mainly shells, but also corals, leaves, rocks, and so on. What I can’t collect, I picture in a photo.
I think that collecting is a nice hobby, that young boys and girls don’t like in these days… but it enhance our observation attitude, our tranquillity, our ability to think before to act (shells are so fragile!). I hope my daughter will choice an hobby: for now she likes reading.
