Okay really is the last on in my Twisted theme. The glory of natures designs of these sea shells in East Sussex, UK Studio shot in 2019.
She sells sea-shells on the sea-shore.
The shells she sells are surely sea-shells!
So if she sells sea-shells on the sea-shore,
Then I'm sure she sells sea-shore shells!

The part of the beach here on Vancouver Island is covered in white shells. Morning light gives them a blue-ish colour.

mom: what are you doing?
me: taking pictures.
mom: of what?
me: egg shells.
mom: what?
me: egg shells.
mom: nevermind.

In 5 short years I was privileged to have travelled to over 50 countries. HMM
As you can see, the male Bowerbird has this funky pink crest that adorns the back of his head and the nape of the neck. THis was the best shot I could get of it as he obviously wasn't trying to attract me with his charms.
"The males, which grow to about 35cm long, have to construct a twin-walled tunnel bower, stretching 1m long and 45cm high, within a cleared ‘courtyard’ just to catch the glance of a female. And even if he builds and maintains the tallest, most robust bower in the region, he’s still not going to get much of a glance if he’s not decorating it at either end with hundreds of colourful paraphernalia – rocks, seeds, bones, shells, pieces of glass, and all kinds of plastic objects of all kinds of colours.
The idea is for the female to enter the bower tunnel to inspect the male’s handiwork, while also inspecting his own pink crest, which he’ll show off to her in the most enthusiastic fashion" Australian Geographic

Am Boden stand mein Yongnuo YN685, auf diesem befand sich eine Klopapierrolle. Darauf die Muschel. So konnte ich erreichen, dass das überschüssige Licht effektiv abgeblockt wurde und wirklich nur die Innenseite der Muschel beleuchtet wurde. Ausgelöst wurde der Blitz mit einem Yongnuo YN-622C-TX.

On the floor stood my Yongnuo YN685, on it was a roll of toilet paper. On it was the shell. This way I could make sure that the excess light was effectively blocked and only the inside of the shell was illuminated. The flash was triggered by a Yongnuo YN-622C-TX.
As I walk along the deserted beach
I feel the damp sand surronding my feet
I feel the cool relaxing breeze creep up upon me with ease
As I look out at the restless waves my thoughts unwind like restless days
The beach is a very quiet and calming place
Shell Beach is just North of PIsmo Beach. We had just eaten at a restaurant near here and the waitress recommended this location to shoot a sunset. I'm glad I asked her before searching for a location. I loved the rock features in the water and this bluff had a perfect line for the glowing light off of the water.
I was sharing this location with another photographer and his wife asked us if we had looked below us. We both were in the moment and were trying to get the perfect light and weren't paying attention to much else. She had been below us on the beach and made a comment about how precarious the bluff looked that we were shooting from. I'm glad that it held us up because it would have been about a 75 foot drop to the beach below. It just reminds me of the crazy things we do to get the perfect shot.
Just a shell in the sand with some sand in it. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, just north of Half Moon Bay, California.

Macro Mondays: #5letters
I haven't been here as much as I wanted to, nor have I taken pictures of the places I've been. I finally have a car again and as before; it will be easier to get to my favorite spots.
Thanks very much for your visit and comment! 💕
It is perhaps unsurprising that Brian would have a keen interest in shells - he has been collecting them for years from his many overseas expeditions in Malaysia, Australia and Papua New Guinea to name just a few. He loves admiring the grace and elegance in the amazing diversity of their colours and forms. This image shows him posing with four of his smallest shells - two cowries, an olive shell and a common cockle.
For Macro Mondays theme 'Collection'. Brian is a tiny juvenile snail, with a shell barely 7mm long, so the image spans about 7.2cm.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
Each shell a jewel, each grain a star,
Reflects the fading light afar,
The castle, proud, beneath the sky,
Wears sunset like a royal dye.

Juglans nigra, the eastern American black walnut, is a species of deciduous tree in the walnut family, Juglandaceae, native to North America. It grows mostly in riparian zones, from southern Ontario, west to southeast South Dakota, south to Georgia, northern Florida and southwest to central Texas
Black walnut is an important tree commercially, as the wood is a deep brown color and easily worked. Walnut seeds (nuts) are cultivated for their distinctive and desirable taste. Walnut trees are grown both for lumber and food, and many cultivars have been developed for improved quality wood or nuts.
