Prepping for the storm!

I am always inspired by the sea. The ocean is beautiful, but incredibly powerful. The surge is what does a lot of the damage. We are inland, but the winds cannot be underestimated!

My inner five-year-old was so happy (I put them back afterwards, of course) #seashells #NaturePhotography

A hand holding a grooved white cockle shell that's a little less than palm-sized.
A hand holding a striped brown and white clam shell.
A hand holding the worn-away middle section of what was once a large spiral shell. It has a vague corkscrew shape but the edges have been weathered away.
A hand holding two small fragments from spiral shells, one orange and one grayish white. The edges are weathered but you can still see the shape somewhat.

Although about 3 million computers get sold every year in China, people don't pay for the software. Someday they will, though. As long as they are going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade.

“Sailor's valentines were a popular maritime craft in the 19th century. These seashell mosaics were arranged in geometric patterns inside small, octagonal wooden boxes. Riley's versions are made using found plastics, reflecting a growing scarcity of seashells on beaches and a concurrent increase in plastic pollution.”

These seashell mosaics were arranged in geometric patterns inside small, octagonal wooden boxes. Riley's versions are made using found plastics, reflecting a growing scarcity of seashells on beaches and a concurrent increase in plastic pollution. The name "sailor's valentines" came from the belief that sailors created these objects for their loved ones while away on long voyages. In fact, the craft originated among wealthy housewives in eighteenth-century London. They were later almost exclusively produced by a curiosity shop owned by B. H. Belgrave in Bridgetown, Barbados, a frequent supply stop for whalers.”

SEA SEASHELLS WATERCOLOR

Seashells are love letters in the sand...

Does making #seashells 🐚 in seawater to draw down atmospheric CO₂ sound like a good #climate solution to you?

Then you’re the target audience of this blog from @mtyka explaining how precipitation of calcium #carbonate to make shells actually releases CO₂.

Art Advent Calendar - Day 17
"Peaceful Sunset at Shell Castle"

A bit of a "fun" photograph today. There's a beach on the west coast of Australia called Shell Beach where the "sand" is all made out of little seashells. Waiting for the sun to set, the child in me had the great idea to build a castle out of these shells. Later, I took a photograph (or 10) of this. This is the result.
