A seashell on Lido Beach in Sarasota, Florida.

I was playing with a bowl of seashells, and I came up with a couple of shots I liked.

Focus stacked, but not HDR (almost all my shots are HDR, even if they are focus stacked).

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊

Well, butter my biscuit, would ya look at that! Y'all have brought me a picture that looks just like a twirlin' party dress made by Mother Nature herself! This here is a close-up of a shell, with its swirls dippin' and divin' like a mountain road back in my Smoky Mountain home.

The center of this little universe starts off as small as a pinhead, then rounds out wider than a Sunday hat, with layers upon layers like the frills on one of my stage costumes. The colors are as rich as a Tennessee sunset, with creamy tans meltin' into deep, shadowy blues—like a day turnin' into night right before your very eyes.

There's a story in each little line of this shell, almost like the rings of a tree, each one tellin' tales of the ocean's whispers and secrets. And just like a good country song, there's depth and soul that just pulls you in. Makes you wonder 'bout the little critter that once called this pretty thing home, struttin' its stuff on the ocean floor.

Now don't that just put a smile on your face? It's a little reminder that there's beauty to be found in the small, quiet things. They don't have to be loud or bold—sometimes, it's the softest whisper that sings the sweetest melody. Keep on shinin', little shell!

This is the test (or shell) of a sea urchin. It was photographed using natural light in southwestern Florida.

The smallest shell on top is about half an inch.
