Life's a Beach - When Starfish and Cockles Collide!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Ronald Pol, we witness an enchanting encounter between two fascinating creatures on the sandy shores of Noord-Holland in The Netherlands. A Common Starfish (Asterias rubens) and a Common Cockle (Cerastoderma edule) have found themselves side by side, creating a delightful scene that showcases the wonders of marine life. The star of the show is undoubtedly the vibrant Common Starfish with its aboral spines and distinctive arms reaching out like celestial rays. Its tube feet and papulae are perfectly adapted for navigating the Atlantic waters it calls home. Meanwhile, our charming co-star, the Common Cockle, flaunts its elegant shell from within which it filters nutrients from seawater. These two marine marvels share more than just their presence on this picturesque beach; they both belong to widely distributed species that are abundant along coastlines. While they may differ in appearance and lifestyle - one being an echinoderm while the other a bivalve mollusk - their dioecious nature ensures there's plenty of them to go around! As we admire this top view perspective under warm July sunbeams, let us revel in the beauty of these resilient creatures thriving amidst sand and water. So next time you stroll along a shoreline or dip your toes into coastal bliss, remember that even in Nature's vast playground, unexpected encounters can create magical moments worth capturing forever
