Elegant curves and an intriguing root structure.
Not quite a closed form, though. This might irk some geometry teachers that I know.

Sea Glass and Trapped Bubbles
As if the sand and pebbles on Spittal Beach are not colorful enough, this bit of turquoise sea glass on the tide line added to the beauty. And the bubbles that remained from the last wash of the tide? An added surprise!
The Surprise of Turquoise
This photo is not the most clear because I was truly surprised by this splash of color, caught unaware with only my iPhone as a camera. It was a magic day spent with my in-laws driving along a small section of the Delaware Bay in NJ. Horseshoe crabs were ashore laying eggs, birds numbered in the thousands, the tide was low, and the conversation warm. They stayed in the car while I wandered a bit at the site of the East Bay Light House.
This photo may not be perfect, but our day was.
Wilted
This delicate, damp feather seemed to spoon the pebble, graceful even after its usefulness has waned.
It Rolled In
May your week be as gentle as the tide that created this still life.
Pink (in the Middle)
Pink is dominant, but it is the luminous quality of the yellow rock in the sun that is most striking.
And the Sun Shines This Morning
It is unusual to find a scallop shell of any sort on our beach. This one’s a beauty, and beside the mussel shells it really shined.
Hook and Eye
The summer of 2014 is officially here with the start of Memorial Day weekend (here in the US). Have picnics and barbecues, and enjoy the outdoors – beach, mountain, lake, park, and backyard. Most of all, make memories with family and friends this season. The memories that are made, and the stories that retell them, serve as a glue that can bind hearts and generations.
Oh, and remember to look for the little treasures that may be at your feet.
Calling in Green
The gentle lines on a shell fragment. A mussel ‘heart’. A splash of green. A perfect still life.
Two is Not Greater Than
The red inclusions in this tiny pebble on Spittal Beach look like a whimsical spray of silly string!
