Gee I'd never heard of this, thought I was just posting a snap of a random sign I passed! Yes, the "shell factory" is very much alive and kicking. Check out its interactive website, park map, and promo video over at www.shellfactory.com

I know you've all been waiting for some Florida pictures... sorry it's taken so long. Aaron and I did some beach exploring this past weekend. We stopped at Madeira Beach for a walk and some shell collecting. The beach was littered with interesting stuff including sponges (like from the Gulf) and some kind of large shelled animals that closed themselves up when you picked them up. We assumed the beach debris was from the water being stirred up by Tropical Storm Fay.

I couldnt help but liken this shell to the head of a fish, which is what I thought it was when I first saw it lying on the beach. The abalone shell was worn in an unusual way with the colours standing out against the silica rich sand.
This shell is called 8 mil (8000) for obvious reasons.
"oito mil" is pronounced oito meal.
I didn't find it. A local diver called Atilas did. I totally messed up the photo of him.
Shells are the exterior skeletons (exoskeletons) of a group of animals called mollusks. (Stauffer's / San Jose, CA)
Shells - shells are so elegant. I also have a lovely piece of upholstery fabric that I'm using as color inspiration.

An HDR image of one of the paths I followed at Roydon. This was made up of what must have been tens of thousands of cockle shells. These were in the middle of where vehicles had driven down the track - either side they were mainly powderised.
