A beautiful painting by Medie.
I gave him the shells last autumn. He used them for the painting. Mixed media.
My granddaughter was fascinated by the shells she found on the beach. The cork is so you can gauge the size of her finds.

Until December I'd never heard of a shell wreck, let alone seen one. Basically, from what I understand, every now and then a certain set of circumstances result in a LOT of shells being 'wrecked' on a shore. This wreck went on for a good quarter of a mile, if not longer. It was wide and it was deep, really deep. And it was mostly full of razor shells. Poor things, there must have been millions and millions of them. Great for hungry waders. Not so great for the North Norfolk population of razor shells.
I know you've all been waiting for some Florida pictures... sorry it's taken so long. Aaron and I did some beach exploring this past weekend. We stopped at Madeira Beach for a walk and some shell collecting. The beach was littered with interesting stuff including sponges (like from the Gulf) and some kind of large shelled animals that closed themselves up when you picked them up. We assumed the beach debris was from the water being stirred up by Tropical Storm Fay.
