Seashell on Rosebud beach, Mornington Peninsula
Beauty cast on sands
Like an exile from the sea
Like a frame of life

THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
AUTUMN is the bridesmaid of Summer and the flowergirl of Winter
AUTUMN whispers the tones of yesterday in a minor key
AUTUMN is an introspective season, when stray thoughts of the mind dive into the mystique of the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

The lone scallop shell sits on the sand, its shapely countenance brightening up the drab wet sand. It stands out nicely!

Great shoot and shadow!
Lovely shell. Looking for shells is my favorite thing to do at the beach. I can walk for miles along the water's edge searching for that perfect shell. Plus the sound of the ocean is amazing.
Happy Sunday!
"Exile from the sea..." I love that phrase. The delicate colors and rich textures here are really beautiful.
