What first attracted me to this trio was the illusion of multiple light sources. This was caused by the shapes of the shells. I didn’t notice the hidden mussel until going through the photographs later.

The impossible task.
It seems also impossible that the wind could have arranged this … but it did.

Love when the tide’s lines, morning light, shadow, and simple shells come together to create a gentle still life!

Calm Before the Storm

I don’t often take the time to photograph the landscape as I walk the tide line looking for still life, and I rarely post any. Yesterday’s dawn was an exception – spectacular! Given that we are now under a blizzard warning, it seems that the beauty was a prescient prelude to what could be a very grey (and potentially perilous) several days at the Jersey shore.
Oh, and water temperature was 34F … Yes, there were surfers in the water.
