What a strange little fellow, how fascinating it must be to find an urchin...

Hello Christa, thank you for your comment. Yes, it was fascinating... such a pale non two-legged urchin... in the sea! ;) And if you've ever felt one (like me), you'll know why it's called (sea) urchin.

please don't go into the water barefoot !!!!

Many years ago I got to know with a sea urchin in Croatia: barefoot into the sea >> stinging pain in one foot >> hospital outpatient clinic >> sea ban for the rest of the vacation. :(

Sehr gelungene Aufnahme!

Vielen Dank! Es hat einige Versuche gebraucht, bis ich ein gutes Foto machen konnte. Die Wellen sind immer wieder gegen den Stein geschwappt und haben den Seeigel überdeckt. Irgendwann hat es dann geklappt.

Simply wonderful… thought it was a plant at first !
Proposed some more groups… feel free to accept.

Thank you very much, also for the suggested groups! You can find a more detailed (general) thank you in my guestbook.

Awesome capture!
