- www.kevin-palmer.com - A monocline is a bend in rock strata that are otherwise uniformly dipping or horizontal. This view is from the Shell Bench Trail.
Tales of a wandering ghost are linked to the Shell Mound at Dauphin Island. No doubt this ancient oak sentinel adds to the creepy factor.
Taken for Week 20/52 Weeks for Pix: Theme is 3. 3 shells from Florida Bay in Key Largo. When alive, these shells are sea snails, who live in the sea grass in Florida Bay. When I swim in the bay, I find these shells, with the snails dead. Sometimes they are inhabited by hermit crabs, who have taken over the shells. Then I put them back in the water, so that the hermit crabs live. There are usually many live sea snails- and occasionally I find these shells from the ones who have died. Much fear for what is to come of this ecosystem with the oil spill. I photograph what I love. What I love is endangered and terribly threatened right now.
Part of my 100 possibliities project, taking 100 photos of the center shell. Maybe survival is also a possiblility.
Sunset in Miami, along Biscayne Bay. Taken on my walk after work. This whole area is threatened by the oil spill. IT is still clear and beautiful- please come visit. But the oil spill effects are already in the loop current, and who knows what will be brought our way in Florida. The toxic effects of the oil spill would certainly kill all of the snails who are mostly alive who inhabit these shells. They might never recover from such a devastating hit. Let us hope that the oil spill miraculously does not affect us here in Florida.
Scientists have had many ideas how to mop up and clean the oil. Why has it taken so long to begin to act on their recommendations?

Shells, shells and more shells! I think it's a requirement if you live in Florida to have jars of shells all over your house.
It was just after Midnight. I was running errands, and had my camera with me. Drove by once, thought it looked neat. Came back around, parked, and snapped this one.

My wife bought this kitschy shell lamp and I've reluctantly grown to like it. Don't tell her.

From my vacation in Florida. These shells were strewn along the beach in large numbers. Not realizing that they were still alive, I picked a couple up and put them down in a spot of my preference (not their's) to take a picture. It took me a few moments to understand why they kept rolling over! Needless to say, I returned them to the ocean right away!
A smaller shell under a larger one that partially broke away to expose the smaller one. Probably somewhere around 100 million years old from back when Central Texas was under a shallow ocean for many millions of years. Found in a limestone layer at the bottom of McNutt Creek near the Paloma Lake Boulevard bridge. This creek has cut through a deep layer of Blackland Prairie soil to expose the limestone bedrock which forms the base of the creek.
