Surprising Sunny Shells
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 26th of July is "sea shells and/or snail shells". Now, I would not classify myself as a seaside sort of person. I like visiting the seaside, but I would probably prefer to live a little further inland. I always enjoy a promenade along the corniche or a wander along the sand, and whilst I am doing the latter, I collect shells. This made my choice for the theme this week very easy. However, you may be wondering why these shells are so “surprising”. The surprise is in their size. They may look large, but the largest of all these shells from my collection is only one and a half centimetres in diameter. I do occasionally use them in my miniature tableaus. Rather than sitting in golden sand, they are actually posed in a mound of very special Très Or Sucre Or (golden sugar) imported from France which was a gift to me from a dear friend a few years ago, sprinkled in the middle of a white saucer. Too beautiful to stir into tea, I have used it numerous times for different photographic purposes. I hope you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile!
