That has been my refrain of late when friends ask what they can bring me back from their travels. Since many of the locales included beaches, I figured it would be okay to ask for shells. Just reach down and stick a shell in your pocket. I am quite honored that my friend D. engaged friends and family in the task. After she showed me pictures of the black beaches of Puerto Rico, I thought it would be fun to photograph some of her shells against fields of black.
These look so surreal. I love them
Thank you. 😉

Hard to believe it was four years ago that I wrote this post after my friend D. returned from Puerto Rico with shells. Thoughts and prayers to her family and all the people there trying to rebuild their lives.
