When it is not a cactus, it is always a sea urchin.

I think that my interest for spines became obsession. I always liked to play with sharp things. Some kids like to play with fire, some kids like to play with cars, some with dolls... my parents had a real problem when they wanted to take the knife from my hands when I was 5-6 years old.

Maybe that's why I find spines interesting to watch and to take photographs.

Today's subject: SEA URCHINS

THIS ONE IS CATCHING THE SUNLIGHT

That is not good for the health of this urchin so I place it in the shallow.

ANOTHER ONE IN THE SAME SHALLOW

Then I found a dead sea urchin with mullet haircut!

But you don't want to mess with that mullet!

Then I found two interesting empty shells of sea urchins.

All photos were taken by me this morning.

During the shooting, no urchins were harmed.
