My walk was through Freshfield Nature Reserve, Merseyside, a few days before. This was my view from the picnic blanket on a cloudy day. The weather has been very unpredictable here so far.
Big ones and little ones…the name ‘quahog’ comes from the Narragansett language. They can be hundreds of years old, though this one is probably about 80-100. Piddocks are interesting too, they can bore through solid rock and glow in the dark!
Whelks are not only delicious to eat but I find their shape really inspiring. There is a lot of rounded harmony in it and a great texture, too.

My mother apparently used to walk for hours along a smooth Atlantic Coast beach. I inherited some of her translucent tiny shells. Here’s to you, mum.
These fill a container about 4 cm/1.57 inches across. See previous photo or first comment for measurement.
Thank you for looking, and for your faves and comments.

Did you get to go the beach this weekend? I didn't, but I'm still in a summery mood.
About this photo:
Just a shell macro I took awhile back. It has some sand stuck to it, so we can all pretend like we were at the beach this weekend.

Happy Macro Monday!
Searching the archives again, I found a shot from when I was interested in Seashells. Heavily processed, I figured this would do for Slider's Sunday. So, HSS everyone!
The Centre of New Industries and Technologies (better known as the CNIT), is one of the first buildings built in La Défense, in Paris, France. It functions as convention centre, though it also houses shops and offices.
The building is the largest concrete shell in the world in terms of square meters of area covered per support. At the same time this building is being the largest unsupported concrete span enclosed space in the world.
The end of a three day weekend in Cyprus; coming back to Nicosia the high way was like this and moving at a snail's pace!
For 121 Pictures in 2021 #57 "Miniature", this is a tiny seashell (species unknown) that we found in a bag of shells bought at a tourist trap shop many years ago. The coins are for a size reference.
In the depths of a secluded beach, nestled among a fluff of silk, lay a shell unlike any other: opalescent, its surface shimmered with a mysterious glow. Each night, it emitted a soft, ethereal light, captivating all who chanced upon it. Legends whispered of its origin, tracing back to ancient sea spirits who bestowed it with mystical powers. Some claimed it held secrets of the deep, while others believed it to be a beacon of hope. Yet, its true nature remained a mystery, casting a spell of wonder over those who dared to behold its luminous beauty under the moonlit sky.
