The Weekend in Black and White

This photo of my shell collection makes me
think of strolling a beach where the weather is toasty.
One of my kids is returning today after a month
in the warm, sunny Caribbean.  She'll be leaving
temps in the 70° to 80°F range and coming back to
wind chills of below 0°F.  And we're due to get
a bit more snow today too.  Welcome home, Katie!

  1. Nice shell collection.

    Hey, if I put my ear up to that center shell I can hear the ocean. Well, OK, my computer sounds more like the pump of a salt-water aquarium but that still gets me out of here.

    It looks like Katie could use some shell-ter from the chill. Maybe she could wrap her hands around something like this.

  4. These are beautiful. I have a lamp with a clear glass base that you can fill with whatever, and mine has shells.

    Your collection reminds me of the one I started when we lived in south Florida for 3 years. I like these in BW!
