Low Tide Gleaning

We were gleaning and looking for aninikad or a plicate conch that can be eaten for meal.

Gleaning during low tide is a time-honored coastal tradition that connects people with nature and sustenance. As the waters recede, revealing the hidden treasures of the shoreline, individuals armed with buckets, plastic bags and nets venture out to gather their bounty. With the rhythmic sound of waves in the background, the process of gleaning unfolds like a dance between humans and the sea. Mussels, clams, and seaweed are some of the common finds, while skilled gleaners might discover elusive crabs or delicate seashells. It's a serene and meditative activity, offering both sustenance and a profound connection to the ebb and flow of the ocean's tides.

These are my companions my brother, sister-in-law and my beloved niece and nephew. I am very happy because they visited us. The children really enjoyed in walking at the seashore.

And this is our catch. A plicate conch and some different kinds of shells.
This is what I cooked for dinner.

Thank you very much and God Bless us all! 🥰
