Kelp Heart by kwind

Kelp Heart

I must confess... I took this in September while on our Tofino getaway. It's a piece of kelp that I helped ever so slightly become a heart. I shared with family on FB but not on 365. I was saving it! I will shoot something fresh tomorrow, I promise. Thanks for all your comments and fav's on yesterday's wooden heart which I believe was a walnut shell that washed ashore. I posted it and immediately left for Vancouver (1.5 drive + 2 hour ferry ride away). I did a little shopping, had a visit with my sister and then went to the diabetic specialist at UBC for a check up this afternoon. I've had Type 1 diabetes for over 26 years so I see an endocrinologist every few years. He was very happy with my numbers and health, which makes me super happy too! The person before me never showed up so I got in early, left early and drove like a maniac through downtown Vancouver to literally drive onto the 3:00 ferry (instead of the 5:00 that I was planning on). I'm home now and unpacked but I'm feeling rather wiped. I'll catch up with all your masterpieces tomorrow!
Lovely shot! Simple, yet interesting!

Your 'sandy' images are always so neat. I like the light gleaming off this heart shape. Gives it an extra bit of sparkle and shine.

Sounds like a full day and a smart move to save up this shot for your month of hearts. Glad to hear you're health is good too! I've got a lot to work on in that department but am taking baby steps to get to where I need to be.

This is lovely!! At first I thought it was a heart made out of wire bent into shape, but now I see the kelp! Glad your health is good.....does diabetes run in your family? I am surprised you had it for so long and at such a young age...

@panthora I'm the other person in my family with type 1. I was actually old when I got it. It's usually kids under 10.
