Pieces of history
Coles Bay Park, North Saanich BC
for centuries the First Nations people dug clams in this Bay. The midden extends for several metres along the bank and is a thick band of shells
My submission for the Kitsap County fair this year came about in an interesting way. I had these beads in a plastic bag that I was going to throw away, not really I mean cause I give things I no longer need or want to one of the local thrift stores or offer beads I wont use to two young ladies whom I taught to bead. But surprisingly enough they weren't interested in these beads and they just sat for a long time. One day I found them while cleaning out craft stuff and I just looked at them and saw something. Voila! A neckalce is born.
I found the shell at Walmart and it all just came together. The stones are either quartz or some other gem and the pearls are natural pearls.( I think)
A shelling demonstration being held in a field. I remember going out with my Dad as he shelled the excess corn for the farmers. This after their cribs had been filled.
By unknown reason there are many differently colored shells on the disused German aerodrome. Snails, maybe, just like that place.
The First Nations people have feasted here for many years and some people say that the whole shoreline of the Gorge and Selkirk Water is composed of layer upon layer of shell midden.

Drove the loop Santa Barbara - Ojai - Carrizo Plain - Morro Bay - Santa Barbara yesterday. Certainly no "superbloom" at Carrizo Plain this year - the condition is best be described as "no bloom at all". Shell Creek Road was the only notable display of wildflowers we encountered.
