Macro Mondays - Shell
Image measures less than 3" on the long side, shell is 1 1/2" across.
Happy Macro Monday : )
It took me a while to appreciate both the taste and the look of the Pistachio nut, but now I can’t do without my weekly bag! Still, they aren’t exactly lookers though.
HMM!

Off I go. See you guys in a few...
Does the little bit on the end of this shell look like a little shell eye to you too?
I like to think that there is a whole little world inside with little shell creatures looking at live feeds from the "eye" on little TV screens, analysing response tactics to the environment on their little shell computers, initiating their outer shell of silence until any potential danger has passed, and then cheering and jumping about and giving each other little shell creature high-fives. That little hole in the spirals under the eye is their emergency escape hatch I reckon. In an emergency, the ConchChime goes off and they throw a little shell creature ladder out the hole and make their escape while whatever they are escaping from is busy at the main entrance. There may have been a little hero shell creature stay behind to distract whoever they were escaping from, maybe named the Coral Crusader. I hope he/she made it out safely! Must be a tough life being a little shell creature, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
PS - I like shells, but then again, who doesn't!
A vase with flowers, all made of shells and mosaics, in the Shell House in Tresco Abbey Gardens, on the Isles of Scilly. I loved the gardens, especially the exotic flowers (you can see some of those in my album 'Isles of Scilly'). The path leading up to The Shell House is in my next photo.

Zerene Stacker 120 subs. Two speed lights - snoot to the right and reflector bowl with grid about 30 degrees off-axis to left. The shell is 2.25 inches in greatest dimension.
We found this beautiful shell several years ago in Myakka State Park, which consists mostly of a freshwater marsh. My semi-educated guess is that this is an Apple Snail shell. The Florida apple snail is 2-3 inches in size, consistent with this specimen of 2.25 inches. There are four exotic species that are highly invasive, and are now widespread throughout freshwater ecosystems in Florida. They were introduced in the 1980s through the aquarium trade.

A small shell trapped in a block of ice. The entrance is also full of ice, but it's so clear you can barely tell.
Love shells and sometimes collect them. I like the central apex of the shell that make the shell somewhat resemble an eye.
“THANKS EVERYBODY FOR THE KIND COMMENTS, REALLY APPRECIATED.”
This shell was given to me many years ago by a special aunt. . Lots of memories and happy times.
A very happy New Year to you all in Flickr land
the macromonday theme for 5/22 is chip(s). this is one possibility.
this shell is just a little over a 1/2 an inch. took probably 40 pictures of shell pieces. the little canon 870 p&s does great close-up shots :)
Und es geht weiter. Heute wieder mit einem Ergebnis vom Workshop mit Ronny Behnert in Berlin. Es ist schon lange her, dass ich die letzte echt schwarze und etwas aufwendigere Bearbeitung gepostet habe. Aber dieses Motiv schreit förmlich danach. An Ronny geht dabei insbesondere großer Dank an die coole Idee für diese Perspektive, auf die ich selber so wohl nie gekommen wäre.
Ich hoffe, es gefällt euch!

The Shell-Haus (Shell House) is a modernist building that overlooks the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin, Germany. It was designed by Emil Fahrenkamp and was built in 1930–31.
In 1929 a competition was held between five architects to determine the designer of a prestigious new office block to house the headquarters of the mineral oil company, and Royal Dutch Shell subsidiary, Rhenania-Ossag. The victor was the German architect and professor Emil Fahrenkamp
After almost two years in construction, Shell-Haus opened in 1932.
The Shell-Haus (Shell House) is a classical modernist office building that stands overlooking the Landwehrkanal in the Tiergarten district of Berlin. Designed by Emil Fahrenkamp, it was built in 1930–31. The most striking feature of the building is its wave-like facade.

Macro Mondays theme: Buckle
When I read the Macro Mondays theme for this week I knew I would concentrate on the bucklesI inherited as part of my mother's button collection. These are mostly mother of pearl or early plastics. The selection process was tactile and soothing on several levels. I've photographed a few groups to share separately.
The finalists were three buckles that presented as owls. All three were within the size restrictions, but I decided to go with the smallest. It is the oldest and crafted from some kind of shell. The surface is very worn, but there is something about it that pleases me.
