I was just trying to explain clamming to a friend yesterday: the early morning, the "holes" in the sand (we would jump up and down to make them "breathe"), the fast digging cuz the clams are digging too. So fun. Thanks for the picture and reminder. I'm calling my 79 yr old dad right now and talk about clamming.
