Shell Study ~ 1

My boys bought Mum some books for Mothers Day including "beach - a book of treasure" by Josie Islin. Rebecca loves wandering along a beach and finding flotsam and jetsam, shells and other beachcomber stuff.

The book was recommended by @pictureitbig http://365project.org/pictureitbig/365/2012-03-04

I had a quick flick through it this morning and decided to make my shot of the day using a shell collected by Rebecca somewhere, sometime.

I've added a tint and square cropped.
