Description

Under a brightly shining sun and partly cloudy sky, a clammer is situated on a rocky portion of a shoreline that is lined with grass. Using their hoe, they push back large rocks in the mud before piercing the terrain with their 6-tine hoe. The mud, gray at the surface and brown underneath, is only pierced with the tips of the tines and jerked a few times before it is flipped. They sometimes brush aside mud and rocks in their search for clams, pausing intermittently to count to themselves the number of clams they are picking. Mud often falls back in clumps that the clammer processes with their fingers in order to find clams within. Occasionally, the clammer will puncture the shell of a clam with a tine of their hoe and decide whether or not to place it in their hod. Instead of instantaneously dropping clams in their hod, on numerous occasions they will examine clams to see if they are satisfactory. Their hod becomes very full by the end of the episode.
