A submission to Macro Monays on the topic "Collection". I am currently travelling, so all our collections are at home. But here is a very temporary collection of shells found on a beach on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
The left shell is fresh and I brought it home from a Japanese meal in Kyoto. It is called Abalone or Awabi (Japanese) and is pearl inside with a row of (at least 9) perforations. It is rather light in weight. The right shell is pertrified and very old, I found it at a beach in France. I have no idea what exactly it is, but it could be an oyster type of shell. It is the perfect intermediate between a shell and a stone and rather heavy. The photo gives a reliable impression of the two very different textures of these shells.
Along route 14, in Wyoming, Shell Falls displays its beautifully time worn rocks and massive water volume.
In the morning before seminar which I had to give presentation of the Project I carry out, insteading of preparing I walked around to relax and meditate my mind before time.
It was still silent as I came quite early. There is lotus pond in front of the hall, no lotus blooming just only green leaves. Just something on the move on one leaf so I looked closer and saw this bug floating in the little pond on the lotus leaf . After I realised that this bug could not swim so I gave little help by finding little stick to pull the bug out of this liitle pond.
I felt fulfilled with this little thing I had done and had seen.. the liitle pond was just like crystal shell... and some new little world I explored like "Alice in the Wonder Land" and I had saved this little friend.

Shell Beach is the closest stretch of sand to downtown Gustavia on St. Barthélemy, Eastern Caribbean.
With my holiday in Cornwall in mind, my project this week (& may continue for a while) is sea shells, mostly collected, some bought & some I've had for years.
A few more here:

Shell, Wyoming; the old one-room school was used until sometime in the 1980's. It's now an office for a local consulting firm.
There was some something about this that caught my eye. Perhaps a visual representation of never truly being stuck and having the strength to crack through our constraints.
Low tide today was at 12.59pm, so I took myself down to the beach for a wander. I spent nearly an hour and half there and it only rained once for a few minutes, but otherwise it was glorious.
I felt like modding my last SABR prototype into the shotgun that I bought myself for my birthday, minus the stock mounted shell holder.
Also, I <3 super macro feature.
A small Buddha plombb figurines were put in the living shell. As it grows there are covered with sedeph. End result is quite impressive to me.
Many years ago, when I first came across these shells, i thought they were deformed. I found them most intriguing and I loved them for their peculiar shapes. Since then, I have come to know them as Cardita shells which are formed in symmetrical pairs, like a clam. Many types of Carditas grow up to 5 or 7 cm long but these ones, pictured, are a maximum of 3 cm long. I'm not sure exactly which type these ones are but they were found along beaches around Wollongong, on the south eastern coast of Australia. Being so small, they are a little hard to find but now and then I come across one. It seems that their lumpy bumpiness is exactly how they are supposed to look :)
