This shell was purchased during our first trip to New Zealand.
Haliotis iris, common name paua, blackfoot paua or rainbow abalone, is a species of edible sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae, the abalones.
This species is endemic to New Zealand Blackfoot paua is the largest abalone species found in New Zealand. It is most commonly found in shallow cool waters at depths less than 6 m. These sea snails often form large clusters on open, exposed coasts, where drift seaweed accumulates and there is good water movement. Blackfoot paua grow to about 180 mm in shell width.

This shell is just under an inch. (Used my handy dandy built in measuring device — the distance between the first and second knuckle on my index finger.) This shell definitely has ridges.
My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 England.
Near Exmouth on our way to Relubbus where we are staying two nights.
On a walk around the interior of A La Ronde house
A La Ronde is an unusual 16-sided house built by two cousins, Jane and Mary Parminter, in 1796. The cousins were inspired by a grand tour of the European continent and created this striking house looking out over the Exe estuary. The interiors contain mementoes collected by the two women, and feature unusual decor, including a 'feather frieze', and a gallery lined with shells. The latter chamber is so fragile that visitors must view it on closed-circuit television.
The story of the Parminters and their travels reads like something out of an adventure romance novel. We know some details of the Parminter Grand Tour, as Jane Parminter kept a journal. The first six weeks of a transcription have survived, and give a colourful account of their journey through France. There were initially four women on the tour; Jane, her sister Elizabeth, their cousin Mary and a friend.
The four women visited Versailles and saw Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette (at a distance), and engaged in the 18th century equivalent of a whirlwind tour of Paris before travelling to the Dijon region, where they visited such diverse places as schools, churches, gardens, and hospitals.

Yesterday we went to Sandspit Point, Bellambi, a beach which we had never visited before.
These snails were around 2.5-3 cm wide.
Panorama out of 3 captures.
Single exposure. I posted the HDR version of this scene 3 years ago but I like this one with the single exposure more.
Two interesting things about this image (well, to me, anyway). Firstly, it was taken with a standard non-macro Nikkor 50mm lens attached to the Nikon Z6 through the FTZ adapter and triple-decked macro ring extenders. This brought the subject to just a couple of cm from the front of the lens. Secondly, this was the first time I tried Nikon's SnapBridge app on my iPhone to fully control the camera. This allowed me to take the shot without any need to touch the vcamera once I had carried out the initial set-up. The focus, shutter-speed and aperture were all controlled remotely as well as the final tripper release. Well done Nikon, excellent bit of technology and it can only get better!!

At long last ive tethered my Ipad to the 5D.
I've used a USB cable to an Ipad usb converter gizmo.
It is possible to do it cordless via wifi but you must have a computer online in the same house.
Unfortunately I dont at my little house, but will take the laptop round at some point!

Taken in Clifton, Ohio.
Clifton is a very small rural town of 151 people (2018) who's major attraction is the Mill run by a water wheel on the Little Miami River. At the mill, the river (more of a stream at that point) drops into Clifton Gorge which is an amazing place to see. The land around is almost table top flat and all of a sudden, there is this beautiful gorge you wouldn't expect to be there and can't see from the road even though it is only a few yards away in many places.
There are a few out buildings around the mill that are covered with old signs like this one. During Christmas time, the entire grounds of the mill are decorated with lights. I've seen all the lights and decorations during the day, but never at night. Apparently it is a very well attended attraction. .

Snail Shell Harbor is a small cove accessed by boat through a narrow cut in a long escarpment of Niagara (Lockport Formation) limestone/dolomite of Silurian age that runs along the northern shore of Lake Michigan. The cliff, shown in the background of the photo, is the same rock formation that crops out from the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin, up through northern Michigan, down through Lake Huron and through to Niagara Falls in New York and Ontario. The historic town of Fayette was established here in 1867 when sailing ships brought in ore from nearby iron mines, which was smelted here, and the pig iron was shipped out to other areas. The town shrank when the iron company moved out in 1891. Old wharf pilings are in the foreground. In 1959 the State of Michigan established Fayette Historic State Park here and renovated many of the original abandoned buildings. The park is located on the Garden Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
In the 1980s my wife and I sailed our 25' Catalina sailboat up here from Egg Harbor, on the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin. We saw the escarpment and went along it until we found the opening for the cove and anchored here for a couple of days; an interesting adventure at the time. For the trip this year we drove and camped.

The biggest problem with Edamame is that it is a pain to shell ... AND you throw away at least twice as much as you keep! They can be served in their shell and if you do it that way the seeds are popped into the mouth and the shell is thrown away. I prefer to shell them first as then they can be added to the dish as desired. Tonight I added them to the sweet and sour sauce.

Derwent Coloursoft pencils on A4 Canson sketchbook paper
This piece was followed with so many bad coincidences, that it's already a win it's finished and uploaded...
First I meant to do it on Canson Mi-Teintes sand paper, but my KIN pencils just didn't want to work on this surface. So I put out my new 24 pc tin of Coloursofts. They are lot drier in compare to the creamy KIN pencils, but I decided to try them out. Although the test in the sketchbook went ok, I failed again on Mi-Teintes. The time was running out, so I just finished the piece in the sketchbook...
There was a special reason why I didn't want to miss out this month's challenge.. it's exactly a year since I entered a CPM challenge for the very first time and I wanted to compare my entries and see the progress - if there's some ;) - I made in the last year :)
These little molluscs are about 5mm long and always congregate in large
numbers at low tide. For Macro Mondays, Just Textures
