Summertime offers the opportunity and time to test out and demo new manufacturer's shells such as the eight from Swift Racing Shells.
I kept walking and I found a spot that I haven't seen before. It was a little inlet that was carved out and full of shells and rocks.
These two shells were laying in the sand as the outgoing tide moved them into deeper water. I got the shot before they moved out of sight,
Just a line of shells I saw on some rocks in Pembrokeshire which I thought had an interesting look about them.
My mom has had this collection of Easter eggs for as long as I can remember. They are actual egg shells that were hand painted. The collection was a little larger but shrunk a bit through the years since they are so delicate. I decided I should get a picture just in case!
Shell Beach is a beach in the Shark Bay region of Western Australia, 45 kilometres south-east of Denham.
Situated on the northeastern side of the Taillefer Isthmus, it covers a 110 km long stretch of coast along the L'Haridon Bight. It is one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from shells.
The beach was named "Shell Beach" because of the great abundance of the shells of the cockle species Fragum erugatum. The seawater in the L'Haridon Bight has a high salinity due to both the geomorphology and local climate of the area. This high salinity has allowed the cockle to proliferate unchecked, since its natural predators have not adapted well to this environment.
The shells typically reach a depth of 7 to 10 metres. Over time, the shells have formed a limestone that is known as Coquina.
Before Shark Bay became a World Heritage Site, the limestone was mined and used for the construction of a number of buildings in the local town of Denham, Western Australia.
I was walking along one night at my campus and came across a lamp post filled with dead ants. Interesting how the color drains from them after death.
