Shell v. Downrush II

Upham Beach, St. Pete Beach, Florida; August 4, 2025

A banded tulip shell sits near the top of a vertical frame, cradled in a soft swirl of receding water, while fine grains of sand and long silky streaks fill the pale gray expanse of beach below in black and white.
A downrush of ocean water envelopes a banded tulip shell on the beach. — J. Matthew Buchanan
