e a bárbara em uma dupla exposição com uma foto de um sambaqui
_
my friend barbara in a double exposure shot. the other photo is of a "sambaqui" (large amount of small shells ).
I wanted to work on andamento with this piece. I love the work of Iliya Iliev and he has a wonderful shell mosaic that I used as inspiration for this piece. I collected the shells in Florida while vacationing and wanted the flawed time-worn fragments.
Olive shells are gastrpods in the family Olividae. All have cylindrical, glossy shells with narrow, elongated apetures.
Letttered olives havea thick shell with a small pointed spire about 1/9th total shell length. Shells that are not faded or beach-worn are covered with overlapping, slightly blurry, brown zigzags that are darkest below the suture and as part of two, broad, spiral bands. Oliva reticularis (the Netted Olive) has no bands and a larger spire of about 1/7th total shell length.
The species' range is from North Carolina to Florida and the Gulf states of North America, including Louisiana and Texas; It also occurs in Mexico, and may also occur in Brazil. The lettered olive typically lives in near-shore waters, on shallow sand flats near inlets. The empty shell is occasionally, or sometimes commonly, washed up onto ocean beaches.[
Lettered Olives are carnivores and actively prey on bivalves and crabs.
The lettered olive is the state shell of South Carolina.

Another trip to the farm
Hello everyone.
I decided to arrange another field trip to my parents farm at Braughing Friars and what a day we picked for it! The day had been hot and sultry and with highs of around 35 degrees!! summer seemed to have certainly peaked and a new highest temperature had been recorded of 36.5c, the highest for 11 years.
As the evening neared the weather was still a muggy 28 degrees at aroung 8pm and although the sky was clear we did have some patchy cloud at times and apart from the full moon the evening couldn't ger any better.
High winds were an issue during the day but luckily by dusk the wind had dropped right down.
I was joined by Colin, Roger and Paul and we ran 6 traps and one sheet that we would attend through the course of the evening/
The moths were fast coming to the lights, it seemed that as soon as the switches were flicked on moths had known what was going on.
It seemed a slow start, espcially for the Macros which seemed to suffer initially and it certainly was a night for the Micro moth recorder as we were simply inundated by them, feverishly wielding pots to try and capture the prize specimens.
The there was the Crane-flies and Beetles, my god I have never seen so many Ground Beetles before in one area, they were swarming all over us more so than the moths!
Th guys left at about 1am and I decided to leave my 4 traps running until dawn, topped the genny up and got some much needed kip for a few hours then up at 4am ready to see what else had turned up.
There was plenty and a lot more species were added.
Best moths of the night were a huge influx of 9 Red-necked Footman, and 3 new moths for my all-time list Aethes beatricella, Aethes tesserana and Carpatolechia fugitivella.
Numbers below are approximate.

The Shell Grotto is an ornate subterranean passageway in Margate, Kent. Almost all the surface area of the walls and roof is covered in mosaics created entirely of seashells, totalling about 2,000 square feet (190 m2) of mosaic, or 4.6 million shells. It was discovered in 1835 but its age remains unknown. The grotto is a Grade I listed building and is open to the public.
Shell badge on a tank in Norway, could do with a touch up of paint but the textures of the fading paint work attracted my eye.
Several Decades ago, Shell put out a number of series of cards. They also sold albums to put these cards in. Everytime you went to Shell for petrol, or anything else, they gave you some cards. The idea was to collect the whole lot, and generally they were most obliging in allowing you to go through the box, to get the cards you were missing.
