Magical Sand Flowers in Broome

Our trip to Broome was filled with friends, love, happiness, sunshine, good food and laughter. It would be hard to have a better holiday. What really inspired me was the breathtaking landscape, the red dirt, the white sands on the beach, the huge expanse of blue ocean meeting the sky.
And I am in awe of these sand flowers. They make me want to paint, to print fabrics, to take photograph.
These flower-like patterns are made by the tiniest of crabs. The crabs make underground tunnels by rolling up sand into little balls and arranging it above ground. The crabs are smaller than the tip of my little finger.

Can you see the tiny little crab in the photo below? How perfectly camouflaged!
Hope you enjoyed these photos. There are more to come in the next few days. At the moment my days are filled with memories of Broome.
