Coral and oyster shell reflections.
For century’s history, folklore, traditions accompany the pearl and purity, innocence, wisdom and treat digestive disorders with the stone.
I know you've all been waiting for some Florida pictures... sorry it's taken so long. Aaron and I did some beach exploring this past weekend. We stopped at Madeira Beach for a walk and some shell collecting. The beach was littered with interesting stuff including sponges (like from the Gulf) and some kind of large shelled animals that closed themselves up when you picked them up. We assumed the beach debris was from the water being stirred up by Tropical Storm Fay.

This shell is called 8 mil (8000) for obvious reasons.
"oito mil" is pronounced oito meal.
I didn't find it. A local diver called Atilas did. I totally messed up the photo of him.
Size of each shell approx 5cm.

Shells are the exterior skeletons (exoskeletons) of a group of animals called mollusks. (Stauffer's / San Jose, CA)
Shells - shells are so elegant. I also have a lovely piece of upholstery fabric that I'm using as color inspiration.
A lovely soft tinkly-clattery sound from this shell chime on the veranda of a Pawleys Island shop.
It wouldn't hold up in the winds here! ;-)
When i get the chance i go to the West coast of Scotland to a small place called Port Ban, which is just south of Oban. This picture was taken in a small fishing village called Tarbert. I took it on a beach, which has been given the nick name Shell Beach, the intire beach is covered in large shells. They all get washed ashore and it looks like this.
These shells are pretty old. We've had them for as long as I can remember. They take me back to when we used to go to Myrtle Beach almost every summer it seemed. I don't really have memories tied to them. Just feelings. :)
These are some pictures from my first roll of film using the Canon AE-1. I am taking a photography class this fall and I needed a good 35mm camera. Now I am just learning it all :).
Thanks to Max for letting me borrow his camera.
