Yes, these were really arranged like this on the tide line. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed the jingle shell’s secret.

Lake Como Swan
Photo taken just a short walk from Lake Como, NJ, where myriad swans live in the summer months.

Monochrome Trumps
It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed the bleached coquina resting on the larger shell (a small oyster, I think). The shells and crab piece hide a tiny piece of yellow shell beneath, just visible through the hole.
I love this still life composition; the morning sun creating a pearly effect on the oyster makes it perfect.

“VB”, Very Beautiful. The tide live was so very beautiful this day!
Cluster of Colors
The tide line is full of color, absolutely full!
One Green Bubble
It is amazing how frustrated one can become when the network goes down or becomes flaky. Makes me even happier to post a peaceful photograph today.
‘D’ is for ‘Dazzling’
The color of the interior of this crab shell is completely natural, untouched. It mirrored the brilliant morning sun. Clearly the creature was hiding its best asset.
Truly a Leafy Sea Dragon
More shadow-play fun!
Sail On
“The sea is so big, and my ship is so small.”
Those of you who have been here before know that I do not arrange any objects in these photographs. The still lifes are created by the wash of the tide, the wind, and also the light, as is the case in this photograph. Morning light here on the eastern US coast often creates wonderful and surprising shadows like this one.
Sail on.
