shell game

Went out to the North Fork of Long Island with
the family to have a "birthday weekend"
(mom and moi, within five days of each other). 
Yesterday included a long walk to a deserted beach,
where I gathered these pretty translucent shells.

Mandarin Orange Monday, and Macro Monday.]

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!
