An American Oystercatcher plies the calm water along the shore at Bolivar Flats, although I've never stubbed my toe on an oyster shell anywhere along that stretch.
It is perhaps unsurprising that Brian would have a keen interest in shells - he has been collecting them for years from his many overseas expeditions in Malaysia, Australia and Papua New Guinea to name just a few. He loves admiring the grace and elegance in the amazing diversity of their colours and forms. This image shows him posing with four of his smallest shells - two cowries, an olive shell and a common cockle.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Collection'. Brian is a tiny juvenile snail, with a shell barely 7mm long, so the image spans about 7.2cm.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
I just can’t get over the Shell Haus. The façade is little worn-out, but shapes are so mesmerizing. Overall, it takes me home to Nordic with its design.

A geeky computer joke. This shell is nature's way of exploring cellular automata :).
A cellular automaton is a mathematical technique that evolves a collection of data using very simple rules. This shell exhibits that sort of evolution along its outer surface.
In the computer world, a shell is a program that accepts a persons inputs (usually by typing commands) and then spits out the results.
Just a shell in the sand with some sand in it. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.

Shell Creek Road is located about 25 miles southeast of Paso Robles near the eastern edge of San Luis Obispo County.
Just another shell on my suitably themed kitchen table cloth that has seagulls printed on it :) taking using a vintage macro lens not too long ago. The lens mounts naturally needing no adaptor and is the Nikon Nikkor 55mm 2.8 Micro lens.. This one is taken at f/11 and still threw the background out but of course doesn't have the detail that photo stacking would achieve. We hope to go away just possibly 2 days and visit the beach where I collect my shells from just a short walk from our caravan. Jonathan says I have enough shells now but if i pick one up and marvel at its intricacies I simply can't leave it behind. There are many millions every single time we go and i started an entirely new collection that are of most variety of shell but all different shades of blue...I hope to catch up with some of your inspirational shots hopefully if there is any WIFI and maybe a few once I'm ready before we set off. Jonathan has been alone to his bungalow every day and its too much so I'm dragging him away. Wishing you all a lovely day...Sue :)
Ps the bits on the tablecloth are tiny crumbs of sand despite my best efforts at washing this shell clean.
Simple but effective, caught in a furrow on Abersoch beach made from the retrieving sea, this shell highlighted by the late evening sunshine created an interesting shot which for me was emotional given it was on the last evening of our holiday. The black and white conversion helps with the mood of the image.
The only difficulty with tight rules on MM is that during COVID 19 not everyone will be able to fulfil the strict rules of the time line. If I get the time I’ll add into the MM pool just to highlight the problem for some of us when we’ll be a bit busier than normal.
The larger shell is 3inches in size, so then significantly smaller then, they are 3-5mm in size.
HMM all stay safe

One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Shell".
Shot with a Noritsu "60-90 mm F 4.5-5.6" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Many thanks for all views and fav's - and particularly comments.
All are greatly appreciated!
Happy photography to you all!
A pair of SD40-2's head back to CN's Scotford Yard after lifting interchange traffic from CP. Shell Canada's Chemical plant and upgrader loom in the distance. If you look above the inflatable cow on the far left you will see a tan structure and stack, which is where I am employed. Not often do I get to combine work and play in a single shot.

Smile on Saturday - Shells
Came across this hinged mussel shell when walking the dog in Gunners Park, not far from East Beach, Shoeburyness. Picked it up and popped in on a pyracantha bush nearby !!
In most marine mussels the shell is longer than it is wide, being wedge-shaped or asymmetrical. The external colour of the shell is often dark blue, blackish, or brown, while the interior is silvery and somewhat nacreous
(Nacre also known as mother of pearl, is an organic–inorganic composite material produced by some molluscs (like mussels) as an inner shell layer; it is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent)
Shell Falls in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming plunges for 120 feet above PreCambrian Granite. During the summer, water drops over Shell Falls at a rate of 3,600 gallons per second. The Creek and Falls follows fractures in the resistant granite. The creek and canyon were named for the shell fossils found in the sedimentary canyon walls above the granite.

The Shell House is a classical modernist architectural masterpiece that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin, Germany. It was designed by Emil Fahrenkamp and was built in 1930–31. In retrospect it is regarded as Fahrenkamp’s masterpiece and one of the most significant office block designs of the Weimar Republic (see Wikipedia).
