Sitting on the tumbled trunk of a tree long dead, smooth from the power of storms and rubbing against the ocean floor, you sift and sort, selecting and choosing, the perfect shell, the one with the best markings, the most beautiful colours and natural shine, but there’s so many, so hard to choose, to discriminate between them, segregating them, making piles, discarding imperfections, you want this one, you need it, not that one, it’s got a mark on it, until you decide, until you see, that they belong together, alone they are nice, but together they are magic and captivating, you smile, you sigh, you lay them back down, you let them rest, together

I have always loved Sea urchins and have always collected them from when i was a child right up into adulthood. They would be the first thing I would look for when I got out of my car and my feet hit the sand on the beach. Suprisingly there arent that many to be found anymore on the beach where I have always gone to find them. sony ax 300 SLR 70 – 200ml lense.
Okay…. My kids made me do it!!! They found this snail in the garden and insisted that I photograph it so here’s the result.
Painted around the same time as “Ukulele Lady” she was gifted to friends when after a major show on the other side of the island she arrived completely warped and couldn’t be hung. She is painted on a masonite panel box. She symbolizes being the sea/see…..rising from the dark…..movement and being still. Notice the Humahumanukanukapuaa. (sounds like huma huma nuka nuka ap poo a a)..Hawaii’s state fish. Sometimes it’s hard for me to put my images into words since the point is that they are images asking to be seen and everyone has their own to see…...

Some of the storms and wind that blows into Lovers Key Beach actually blows the shells into the driftwood on the beachs. This image was taken with my Nikon Coolpix P80 on Lovers Key State Park in Bonita Beach, Florida

A shell on a wind swept Busselton beach in Western Australia. I love the way the sand has been eroded from around the shell. It was a very windy day and I had to lay down to take this shot, I ended up with sand in places sand should not be!! Lol Olympus E-410 Featured in the group – Nirvana – 20/09/09
Nice seashell on the beach with blue reflected sky
