A Lewes exterior.

Both these lei were brought back from Rapa Nui. The black shells in the far lei are Black Nerites, which certainly occur on Rapa Nui beaches, as do small cowries, but I suppose they could be from countless places in the Pacific.

As seen from the village of Geervliet (Holland).

This is my original shot for the Macro Mondays theme of spirals i.e. until my knowledgeable husband pointed out that strictly speaking, a shell like this is a helix ( same goes for snail shells)

My take on the theme "Shells" for Smile on Saturday. Hope it makes you smile!

Being close to a large pound, we have many turtles that come on our property to lay their eggs. This one was on our driveway. Not 100% certain, but I think it's a Blanding Turtle, by the shape of it's shell, which looks like a helmet, and the strong yellow marking on her neck.

Unusual card with a shell made with quilling, an ancient art form. Can't imagine the patience it took to produce this. Shell is less than 3" tall. Quilling Card LLC. July 2020.

I love shells, and sea life....so why not take a pic with a shell

Shell Mex House is a grade II listed building situated at number 80 Strand, London. The current building was built in 1930–31 on the site of the Hotel Cecil and stands behind the original facade of the Hotel and between the Adelphi and the Savoy Hotel. Broadly Art Deco in style, it was designed by Frances Milton Cashmore of the architectural firm of Messrs Joseph.

Shells and pebbles

Shell party, Marengo.

The left shell is fresh and I brought it home from a Japanese meal in Kyoto. It is called Abalone or Awabi (Japanese) and is pearl inside with a row of (at least 9) perforations. It is rather light in weight. The right shell is pertrified and very old, I found it at a beach in France. I have no idea what exactly it is, but it could be an oyster type of shell. It is the perfect intermediate between a shell and a stone and rather heavy. The photo gives a reliable impression of the two very different textures of these shells.

Yesterday we went to Sandspit Point, Bellambi, a beach which we had never visited before.

These snails were around 2.5-3 cm wide.

All the shells on the beach were broken, except this one. It reminds me a marriage's and that you have to both work hard to stay united.

We plan on going on a beach vacation in the winter months, so until then I'll stare at these shells

on a creative level, I did love the light coming from the window though
