Shell extracted from a pine board. Base is made of walnut with pegs of ebony. Thanks to Steve Garrison for his imagination and his book on how to make one of these! I will surely do some more experimentation with alternate materials and angles.

after this storm a think a little stroll by the seaside is in other to see if any shells got washed up.

Macro Mondays - theme white background.
This was a hard one to do since the shells were also white. But I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out.
Walk-by shooting, tonight. Too many trees to see the old fashioned Shell design. Must return in Winter.
The Shell House is probably the most distinctive house on Isla Mujeres or anywhere else for that matter. One of two houses owned by the Campos brothers, I found out later that the house can be rented.

Thank you for viewing and favouring my photographs.
Your viewing is much appreciated.
I found the owls on sale several years ago and finally decided to use the crushed shell on them. Since the picture I dry-brushed a light gray paint around the edge of the head so that it shows up better from a distance. Several others have aqua stars and glitter tile pieces within the shell. They are kind of funky fun! :)
random birds egg fragments I've found in the last couple of months, and shells I found at the beach.
After discovering these interesting shrubs, we walked around them for awhile and suddenly found this unbelievable flower - almost like a miniature orchid bursting out of what we thought was the blossom!! Turns out the gorgeous pink structure is only the precursor to these small but magnificent flowers. In studying this image on the computer, the subtle pink shading in the outer leaves became apparent - so delicate and lovely. Also notice what appear to be small water droplets inside the next pink structure to the right of the blossom. But what really surprises me is the fact that the flower is yellow and red!! Not what I would have expected with all the soft pink. Truly one of Mother Nature's loveliest creations. :-)
This is original equipment from an old garage that is now a private house in the village where I live.

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.
