Yesterday’s Highest Tide

20140423-062632.jpg

An almost sad still life. A desiccated jelly fish, dead coral, and a well-sanded organism of not quite clear origin, together, left by a previous very high tide. It was very windy that week, and the wind scooped out the sand from around them.
The spot of pink left on the coral echoes back to a marine life well lived.

St. Louis Visits South Carolina

The shadowing in this still life is strongly evocative of St. Louis, Missouri’s Gateway Arch, the largest man-made arch in the United States.
I am finding myself increasingly more delighted when I find fun shadows in still lifes.
