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!
Made molds of a few shells a couple of weeks ago and used them to create this today. Inspired by flickr friend: www.flickr.com/photos/22057628@N00/5706653513/
The shell of a Volkswagen Type 1 ‘Beetle’ sits abandoned on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, Greece. Not sure exactly which sub-model this car is, or what the exact year is, but it is a post-1958 model (due to larger rear window), looks to be a 1960s or ‘70s example. Those front steel wheels are common on many VW products. The blue car behind the Beetle is a circa 1980s-1990s SEAT Marbella hatchback.
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.

Even though I live so close to the beach I still sometimes can't resist adding to my collection of bits and bobs from the strand line.
This is one of many such findings.

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
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!)
Vacation collection. Some whole sand dollars, an awesome orangey sponge, and some other awesome shells! Clearwater Beach, Caladesi Island State Park, Sanibel Island, FL.
