http://tnl-6.local/taxonomy/term/919/0 en-US http://tnl-6.local/node/779 <p>One of my better attempts at underwater photography whilst diving. The <a href="http://www.marlin.ac.uk/species/aequipectenopercularis.htm">Queen Scallop</a> is a beautiful creature whose colours really light up with the camera flash, making the opening between the two shells seem like diamond encrusted teeth. Any slight touch or sharp movement will send the teeth chattering, opening and shutting in an attempt to swim away; the first time I saw this I could not stop laughing as the movement really is like cartoon false teeth.</p> <a href="/node/779"><img src="http://tnl-6.local/files/images/creranQscallop.thumbnail.jpg" alt="Queen Scallop" title="Queen Scallop" class="image image-thumbnail " width="100" height="75" /></a><p><a href="http://tnl-6.local/node/779" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://tnl-6.local/node/779#comments Image Storybook creatures fiction narrative teeth Water Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:15:17 +0000 Lindsay 779 at http://tnl-6.local
