A shell and a pebble – letting nature back in

A shell and a pebble

Shell next to a pebble

These two juxtaposed natural but unrelated objects seem appropriate for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge for this week, Two different things or the number two. These two objects are among the small collection of found things I keep in my suburban wildlife garden. ★

Love this juxtaposition- brings to mind the far side of the moon and Venus in conversation. Something to do with the ‘Venus ear’ like a pairing of a Fibonacci spiral.

This is so beautiful, the perfection of the shell, and the juxtaposition of two halves.

Ahhh Kind of like apples and oranges… Two totally different things, but there are plenty of comparisons to be made. 😉

  Now that would have made an inspired pic. And going with your train of thought, kind of also like the Beatles and the Stones …
