This weeks theme is Empty.
Last year we found these nuts (not sure exactly what they were). What I do know, is in addition to these spiky outer shell, there were also round seeds that went inside. This spiky shell happened to be empty when we found it.
On a trip to the beach last year, we found this skate egg satchel washed up on the shore. It had already hatched and was empty.
In our gardens, we have snails. Our snails actually have shells like sea snails. This particular shell found in the garden was empty.
We went on a tour of a local dairy farm. Inside the barn, we saw this rack of empty milk bucket.
interesting shots! specially the second photo ... :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you've got a bunch of great empties! I like seeing all EMPTY snail shells. Thanks for coming by My Photo Blog.

ReplyDeleteVery unique photos!
ReplyDeleteExcellent choices for this week's theme! I love the snail shell :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I know what those spikey things are, but I can't think of the name!
ReplyDeleteThe spiky things are chestnuts.
ReplyDeleteVery very cool. Perfect for the theme this week (much more-so than mine I'm afraid!!) Thank you so much for always taking the time to stop by, even when my busy life prevents me from reciprocating sometimes. Means a lot.

That's a bunch of interesting photos. But the skeet fascinated me: I have never heard of those. They look like they have the shell of a horseshoe crab. And they hatch out of it huh? Interesting!
ReplyDeletegreat emptiness! Maybe the first thing is a chestnut but only a guess.
ReplyDeletethanks for the visit.

ReplyDeleteLots of empty things! Great choices for the theme. I enjoyed looking at them.
ReplyDeleteThose were all quite unique and the first I've seen like them today!
ReplyDeleteYou've taught me something today! I've never known of a Skate or skate egg.
ReplyDeleteYour Empty photos are great!
Cats & Goats - I never knew what a Skate was until after we found that washed up on the beach (Husband knew it as he sees them at work). Right after we saw that, we were at the EcoTarium (its a Science Center) and they had some Skate eggs and newborn Skates in a tank.
ReplyDeleteI remember those nuts from the top photo!!! I don't know what they were called but I remember them from growing up in Massachusetts!! Thanks for the memory and also, thank you for stopping by my place and visiting today ;)
ReplyDeleteI love those photos. So interesting. Happy weekend.

ReplyDeleteCome back again!! I love new visitors...Hope you are feeling better too. I have the same thing...sinus and infections but they always lead me to migraines..OUCH!! Sandy
