Collected over many years - some from British beaches, some more exotic. Tend to just take photos these days - need less space and dont collect dust!
Shell by Erin
Erin designed and carved this interpretation of a traditional shell often found on antique furniture. Her version is much more lively and colorful.
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.

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.
