Sydney, Australia

The Monarch Islands are off the west coast of North Uist. Uninhabited by people but home to so many seals. There were dark patches on the beach which on closer inspection proved to be areas of shells that had only partly been broken down by the waves to make the glorious white sand that makes up the stunning beaches the Hebrides are known for. Why were they in these clearly defined patches? I don't know, but the shapes and colours of these fragments fascinate me.

Shell Island, Wales, UK, 2 Jun 2015

random birds egg fragments I've found in the last couple of months, and shells I found at the beach.

I can't help but collect shells when I'm on the beach.

Another last minute cop out shot I'm afraid.

 

But I've not been very well this week, I've been recovering from a chest infection that seems to be getting worse now not better :(

 

I just want to get outside and take some outdoor shots, I'm rapidly running out of things to photograph inside. My daughter has a box of shells that she's picked up on trips to the beach, I haven't a clue what sort of shell this is, or what lived in it, but it came in handy for todays shot.

Shells in a bowl under continuous light.

Shell Beach is a beach in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres south-east of Denham.

 

Shell Beach is not your everyday sand beach. It's a beach made of trillions of tiny shells, all from one type of animal.

 

The shell, known as the Hamelin Cockle, lives in prolific numbers in the area because of the super salty water. The discarded shells have heaped into massive piles up to 10m thick! Tonnes of bleached white shells forming a beach up to 1km wide and many kilometres long!

My wife’s crop from our two days on Sanibel Island. These shells will be incorporated in her artwork.

I made this over a long time, just for my darling heart. I could only glue a few shells at a time, then, when it was dry, would rotate the whole thing to do more. In secret. The bark is from Silver Birch trees. You can peel it off, if you're gentle, during the spring. It's so beautiful (the barrk). I've glued it to rice paper, then crocheted the edges. It's very delicate and warm and pretty.

I was concerned about the thin pieces, but as it happens, they look the best when the light is on. In fact it's a gorgeous thing. We all love shells huh? So pretty and shiny!

 

The base is an Op Shop purchase. An ugly lamp I transformed into lovliness! The shade was an awful dirty pink. I pulled the fabric off and just used the frame.

Various broken shells lie along the railbed at Mill Creek - dropped by hungry seagulls to get to the meat beneath.

U2 - No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.

One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.

The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine

quietly.

Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.

I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.

That is the meaning of a rebirth.

I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.

After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After

she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies

until I realized it is love?

I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the

daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.

I had been thinking about such a thing.

However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see

something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable

tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.

Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

Painting with a Palette Knife - Mussel Shells, Acrylic Paint

This is really best viewed large to see the color and detail - a very special shell.

These are some of my mom's favorite colors...

shell piering amour plate (Deutsches Museum Munich)

This was made of shells and little wooden figures that I make. It was inspired by an 18th century piece in Williamsburg. I call it “Look for me at the Coral Bridge”.

This is my fourth and final page of sea shells for the moment.......

I was just testing out come shells and finally it developred into a complete picture. I just couldn't stop. Here it is in its first incarnation, black and white.

St Mary's Shell sculpture on the beach at Cleveleys.

Today folks from Philadelphia's The Olde Bar traded their aprons for waders to see how our estuary science team recycles oyster shells. They spent the morning touring our living shoreline at the DuPont Nature Center, located on the Delaware Bayshore near Milford, Delaware. Together they learned how shells destined for landfills can instead grow wild oyster reefs. These, in turn, shield wetlands from waves and filter our water. What a great way to celebrate Seafood Month this "Oystober!"
