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.

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.
