For those struggling in the office and daydreaming of that beach trip you would rather be on, I leave you with a watercolour painting of a Nautilus.
Did you know that the word Nautilus comes from the greek 'ναυτίλος' wich means 'sailor'. And just like its name, it sails though the deep sea of the Indo-Pacific ocean. These beautiful creatures are also known as living fossils, having survived relatively unchagend, floating peacefully though the ocean for millions of years.

Sadly, they are often hunted for their extraordinary shells as a curiosity or for the iridescent lining of their shell interior as a pearl substitute.

More to come!
