I didn't get much of a chance to take many pictures at Shell Island (too much BBQ'ing and drinking) but I did manage to get this...
Taken in Clifton, Ohio.
Clifton is a very small rural town of 151 people (2018) who's major attraction is the Mill run by a water wheel on the Little Miami River. At the mill, the river (more of a stream at that point) drops into Clifton Gorge which is an amazing place to see. The land around is almost table top flat and all of a sudden, there is this beautiful gorge you wouldn't expect to be there and can't see from the road even though it is only a few yards away in many places.
There are a few out buildings around the mill that are covered with old signs like this one. During Christmas time, the entire grounds of the mill are decorated with lights. I've seen all the lights and decorations during the day, but never at night. Apparently it is a very well attended attraction. .
One little and lonely shell sitting by itself, poor little shell. Not taken on the beach!!

Taken on the beach at Culleenamore, Sligo, Ireland, under the foot of Knocknarea.
-Added to theCream of the Crop pool as most interesting.
I took this photo at the beach. One shell was fould on the beach and the other is from Pottery barn. I placed them between the rocks and the waves would roll in . I was hoping to get some bokeh off the water, which I did but also had to run after the shells when the waves took them away. But it was fun!!
Shell Oil Company logo was design by Raymond Loewy and it is still one of the best-known logo designs. Shell logo has been continually corrected for several times. This sign is one of the olders version found it in Cambridge, Massachuset. ------ (BOS_DSCN2219 - Image copyrighted).
Obviously, I've totally run out of names for sea shells.
For this shell, I wanted to show the translucent quality so I placed a Strobie 130 in a Rogue grid behind the shell to focus the light on the part I wanted to light up. For fill light, I used a YN560 in a 24 inch soft box, camera left, in front at 7 o'clock, and then used a small hand held mirror to bounce a little light onto the right side. The strobes were in manual mode and I took several test shots to get the lighting ratios that I wanted. The strobes and my camera were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other sea shells that I've photographed over the years are in my Shell album, if you like this sort of thing.

Snail Shell Harbor is a small cove accessed by boat through a narrow cut in a long escarpment of Niagara (Lockport Formation) limestone/dolomite of Silurian age that runs along the northern shore of Lake Michigan. The cliff, shown in the background of the photo, is the same rock formation that crops out from the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin, up through northern Michigan, down through Lake Huron and through to Niagara Falls in New York and Ontario. The historic town of Fayette was established here in 1867 when sailing ships brought in ore from nearby iron mines, which was smelted here, and the pig iron was shipped out to other areas. The town shrank when the iron company moved out in 1891. Old wharf pilings are in the foreground. In 1959 the State of Michigan established Fayette Historic State Park here and renovated many of the original abandoned buildings. The park is located on the Garden Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
In the 1980s my wife and I sailed our 25' Catalina sailboat up here from Egg Harbor, on the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin. We saw the escarpment and went along it until we found the opening for the cove and anchored here for a couple of days; an interesting adventure at the time. For the trip this year we drove and camped.

This shell was purchased during our first trip to New Zealand.
Haliotis iris, common name paua, blackfoot paua or rainbow abalone, is a species of edible sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Haliotidae, the abalones.
This species is endemic to New Zealand Blackfoot paua is the largest abalone species found in New Zealand. It is most commonly found in shallow cool waters at depths less than 6 m. These sea snails often form large clusters on open, exposed coasts, where drift seaweed accumulates and there is good water movement. Blackfoot paua grow to about 180 mm in shell width.

My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 England.
Near Exmouth on our way to Relubbus where we are staying two nights.
On a walk around the interior of A La Ronde house
A La Ronde is an unusual 16-sided house built by two cousins, Jane and Mary Parminter, in 1796. The cousins were inspired by a grand tour of the European continent and created this striking house looking out over the Exe estuary. The interiors contain mementoes collected by the two women, and feature unusual decor, including a 'feather frieze', and a gallery lined with shells. The latter chamber is so fragile that visitors must view it on closed-circuit television.
The story of the Parminters and their travels reads like something out of an adventure romance novel. We know some details of the Parminter Grand Tour, as Jane Parminter kept a journal. The first six weeks of a transcription have survived, and give a colourful account of their journey through France. There were initially four women on the tour; Jane, her sister Elizabeth, their cousin Mary and a friend.
The four women visited Versailles and saw Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette (at a distance), and engaged in the 18th century equivalent of a whirlwind tour of Paris before travelling to the Dijon region, where they visited such diverse places as schools, churches, gardens, and hospitals.
