The moment the shell realized it was no longer the center of attention

I was up late last night photographing shells -- and then little bird skulls and other stuff my eyes fell on. This is just a silly candid of the counter space where I had shoved this particular shell.
Apologies for posting so many photos all at once.

Oh, I really like this still life! Such warm colours and tones.
It's a FAV!
BTW- looked at all you fabulous shots but can't comment on them all due to time.
