after just a few minutes of combing the kepuhi beach on kauai, i found all these amazingly colorful and tiny sea shells. this group is about the size of a quarter.
For scale, the largest shell is 5cm long. These were found at Towradgi beach, where they are quite common. Large cone shell creatures can give quite a sting, even when washed up on a beach but I never seemed to have a problem with these little ones. Mostly, I see the dark brown motley kind but occasionally I see a white one. I find it interesting the way some of the cones are pointy. They tend to wash up on rough sea beaches with a lot of pebbles, so they are often damaged.
E' da tanto che volevo farti vedere queste foto. Mi mancano i tuoi commenti. Mi manca vedere le foto che fai tu e la sorpresa quando mi dicevi "Ho fatto una foto!"...
Penso che le tue preferite siano questa...
I confess I did bring home just a couple of shells - these are so tiny (the yellow one is about the size of my little finger nail) that they would have been lost in one of my usual beach shots, so I brought them home to capture. Markings are so pretty.
I *may* have also found an abalone (my first whole one ever!)
This Sea Shell Butterfly is part of a larger very beautiful sea shell creation done by Lionel Comeau of Petit-Rocher, NB These creations were on display at the headquarters for the Acadian Seniors Games that were held this weekend. Congrats to my wife Lynda who won a silver medal in Bowling.

The was originally a Taco Bell, which opened on December 19th, 1977 (as the first built in the area) and relocated here in 1992. Since 1995 it has operated as several different independent restaurants, including:
*Kory Restaurant
*Soprano Italian Restaurant (opened in the 2000s, closed in early 2012)
*Sunday's Kitchen (opened in late 2012, closed in early 2013)
*Wolf's Burger Joint (opened in December 2013, closed in early 2014)
*Emo Italino Pizza (opened in 2014, closed in the middle of 2016)
*Shell's (opened in late 2016)
As you can see here, this Taco Bell had the exterior access restrooms that were a common staple of locations of that era. I'm not sure if the drive-thru is original or not, but it's certainly situated oddly. The arrow looks like its' pointing you to drive into the shed!
Apologies, but gold glitter wrapping paper just doesn't photograph too well (with my camera anyway).
This pair of shells are over a 100 years old. You can still hear the sea if you hold them against your ear.

Shell Bay is across the water from the famous Sandbanks peninsula and takes its name from the fact that........it is a bay.........and there are lots of shells!!! So I thought I'd represent it in picture form!
This is original equipment from an old garage that is now a private house in the village where I live.
We've got tons of shells and ocean related stuff. Our entire upstairs is nautically decorated. ;) The "Above Under The Sea Gardens" we like to call it. Will have to take more pics of that later. But until then.. here's a cool shell. Hard to believe a creature went around with this as it's house!
You can see the greyed-out sign for the former Mobil in the background, which is directly to the left of this shot. Go to this shot to see the abandoned Mobil.

My first attempt at 'zoom blur' not sure if that is what it is called but it does seem fitting. canon 50d, f14, 1.3sec, I used the kit lens 18-55, not the best qaulity but out of 6 different lens I found this gave the best reults, started out at approx 50mm and then over the 1.3sec wound out to approx 20mm, any tips on this technique are greatly welcome
Calgary is complicated. It is a Cowtown and an oil town, after oil and natural gas was discovered in Alberta in 1947. Fortunes rise and fall in Calgary according to the international crude prices. International oil companies compete with home-grown players and they come and go due to many economic, business and political factors.
