One of our favorite things to do... Exploring a particular environment and collecting little treasures nature leaves behind.

My dad made this "sculpture" out of sea stuff. I think we both took a picture of it but it looks like I got mine up on flickr first! :)

These are shells collected and sorted from the beaches of Sanibel Island over the years.

I haven't uploaded pictures onto flickr in quite a while. I have a lovely camera and nobody to share my pictures with, so I logged back in today.

The grotto was discovered in 1835 by James Newlove, who broke through into its roof while digging a duck-pond. It was illuminated by gas lamps and opened to the public in 1837, and has remained in private ownership ever since.

The age of the structure is uncertain and attempts to use radiocarbon dating to determine the age of the site have failed. Carbon deposits from Victorian lamps which were used to illuminate the grotto in the 1800s have entered the shells.

The estate owners built the Shell House in about 1754, located in Hatfield Forest

A great green turban gastropod shell, Turbo marmoratus. The outer layers have been stripped to show the nacre with carved filigree on the widest body whorl and Andamans carved just below the apex.

The Shell Grotto is an ornate subterranean passageway in Margate, Kent. Almost all the surface area of the walls and roof is covered in mosaics created entirely of seashells, totalling about 2,000 square feet (190 m2) of mosaic, or 4.6 million shells. It was discovered in 1835 but its age remains unknown. The grotto is a Grade I listed building and is open to the public.

Many cool shells there that day. I wonder if this one is there because there is a hole in the rock, or if there is a hole in the rock because it is there.
