Being close to a large pound, we have many turtles that come on our property to lay their eggs. This one was on our driveway. Not 100% certain, but I think it's a Blanding Turtle, by the shape of it's shell, which looks like a helmet, and the strong yellow marking on her neck.
Shell, Wyoming; the old one-room school was used until sometime in the 1980's. It's now an office for a local consulting firm.
I made this a almost a year ago for a "Star" theme but never posted it. It's a composite of a starfish shell and the rings from my "Log" sculpture of sorts that I used this past week for the Macro Mondays group. With "Shell" as the theme this week for the Smile On Saturday group it gets another chance. I hope it makes you smile.

There was some something about this that caught my eye. Perhaps a visual representation of never truly being stuck and having the strength to crack through our constraints.
This is a shell that I borrowed from my sister to practice my lighting on.
I first washed it, and then made it a little shiny by rubbing some olive oil on it. I placed it on a mirror, because I figure I get two shells for the price of one that way. The only caveat with using a mirror, is that it shows every speck of dust. I first setup the backlighting by placing a YN560 in a Rogue grid behind the shell, and when I got it adjusted properly, I put light on the front with a YN560-III in a 24 inch soft box at camera left. Both strobes, in manual mode, were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
I find sea shells to be beautiful objects from nature, and have photographed quite a few of them over the years. Other shells that I have photographed are in my creatively named Shells album. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157626043932290
When I see a bunch of shells on the beach, I want to hoard them like a pirate. At some point in history, these were money.
This photo is reprocessed from an earlier version here. (justenoughfocus.smugmug.com/Portfolio/Full/i-MVVZNj3) The tools for post-processing are continually being updated, so lately I've been having a little fun going back to old photos to tease out a new look. I don't recall what tools I used back in 2015, but this time, I used the latest version of Skylum's Luminar.
Nevertheless, what got my attention in this scene is all of the shells in the foreground; they must have been deposited after a storm. You can go to a store and buy a bag of shells for ten bucks, or you could just go to the beach and pick them up yourself. Better yet, send me the money, and I'll get them for you! (just kidding)
This is the first in my new series of images from the German North Sea island Sylt. When I was there last summer, I was constantly taking photos, even when I was relaxing on the beach.
I am still in holiday mode, so I don't comment as much as I usually do. Please bear with me. Things will go back to normal next week.
Enjoy!

The left shell is fresh and I brought it home from a Japanese meal in Kyoto. It is called Abalone or Awabi (Japanese) and is pearl inside with a row of (at least 9) perforations. It is rather light in weight. The right shell is pertrified and very old, I found it at a beach in France. I have no idea what exactly it is, but it could be an oyster type of shell. It is the perfect intermediate between a shell and a stone and rather heavy. The photo gives a reliable impression of the two very different textures of these shells.
Nature is full of contrast between life and death. An impenetrable shell is quiet literally a guaranty for a sheltered life. But what happens when this idea is brought over to buildings? Expansive art mostly.
