From the 1980s? Lurking amongst other odds and ends at some barns I recently surveyed.

Sally sells sea shells down by the sea shore ... and I can not wait to get to the beach again! Why must vacation only come but once a year? I swear that one day I will at least have a winter home by the beach to escape from the mountain cold.

Elliptical ridge curves define the shell form.

SF's downtown has a lot of really inspiring architecture. If it hasn't got stone/marble/brick facades, it's covered with shiny windows.

Piles and piles of Atlantic slippersnail shells (Crepidula fornicata) . The slipper snail or its shell is also referred to as a boat shell, quarterdeck shell, fornicating slipper snail, Atlantic slipper limpet or common slipper limpet. I have never seen so many in one place as on this beach at Tod,s Point in Greenwich, Connecticut - USA

Front Street, Issaquah, Washington. The city has restored the original Shell Station and transformed it into the visitor's bureau. It's what greets a visitor coming into Issaquah on the main street, Front Street.

Much of downtown Issaquah looks like an early to mid 20th century western mining town. There's a saloon like feel to some of the buildings.

I live a couple blocks from here.

Found this cluster of Mussell shells washed up on Walcott beach in Norfolk and thought they looked rather pretty so took this shot.

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.

Shell's Kitchen (1,808 square feet)

14624 Warwick Boulevard, Newport News, VA

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!

At a 120 feet in height Shell falls sends the water of Shell Creek tumbling over 2.9 billion year old Precambrian basement rocks into a narrow chasm that makes up the inner canyon. These basement rocks are some of the oldest rocks earth. The falls is located about midway down Shell Canyon in the Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains.

As summer is nearly gone, I liked to do this sea side wedding cake. Everything is fondant, only the couple is polymer clay.

Thanks for looking!

All this construction around my house is driving me insane. Its a good thing my wife just got a Jeep because my regular car would have fallen apart by now with all the holes and sand bumps in the area. Have you guys seen the extremely deep hole in the street between Starbucks and Sbarro in front of Fanar? I had trouble passing it even with the Jeep! Hopefully all the construction will end soon and they repave the streets. Near my house there are a whole bunch of Shell barrels filled with diesel fuel for the trucks. I really like the Shell logo and colors, its simple and memorable.

70s good to know when a sign was made
