Made molds of a few shells a couple of weeks ago and used them to create this today. Inspired by flickr friend: www.flickr.com/photos/22057628@N00/5706653513/

Front Street, Issaquah, Washington. The city has restored the original Shell Station and transformed it into the visitor's bureau. It's what greets a visitor coming into Issaquah on the main street, Front Street.

 

Much of downtown Issaquah looks like an early to mid 20th century western mining town. There's a saloon like feel to some of the buildings.

 

I live a couple blocks from here.

This Sea Shell Butterfly is part of a larger very beautiful sea shell creation done by Lionel Comeau of Petit-Rocher, NB These creations were on display at the headquarters for the Acadian Seniors Games that were held this weekend. Congrats to my wife Lynda who won a silver medal in Bowling.

This pair of shells are over a 100 years old. You can still hear the sea if you hold them against your ear.

At a 120 feet in height Shell falls sends the water of Shell Creek tumbling over 2.9 billion year old Precambrian basement rocks into a narrow chasm that makes up the inner canyon. These basement rocks are some of the oldest rocks earth. The falls is located about midway down Shell Canyon in the Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains.

I confess I did bring home just a couple of shells - these are so tiny (the yellow one is about the size of my little finger nail) that they would have been lost in one of my usual beach shots, so I brought them home to capture. Markings are so pretty.

I *may* have also found an abalone (my first whole one ever!)

Time for macro play today with my shells,

Built in 1790 by Matthew Cary Whitaker, near Enfield in Halifax County NC. This was taken about a decade ago right before it was drastically remodeled. I will post more photos and info on this place over the coming days..

As summer is nearly gone, I liked to do this sea side wedding cake. Everything is fondant, only the couple is polymer clay.

 

Thanks for looking!

We've got tons of shells and ocean related stuff. Our entire upstairs is nautically decorated. ;) The "Above Under The Sea Gardens" we like to call it. Will have to take more pics of that later. But until then.. here's a cool shell. Hard to believe a creature went around with this as it's house!

A broken shell that my sister picked up on a South Carolina beach many years ago. 8/1/2021
