Mississippi Clamming


Mr. MB and I must have taken 50 combined photos of this pretty clam in the riverbed, (under the water surface). The lines and colors caught our eyes in the sunlight. What was odd was the trail behind the clam. I guess I never realized they plow their way along the bottom of the river pushing small stones aside as they travel.

The river clams slowly make their way to the perfect spot where they can slice your toe open when you step on them. :)
