Sea Urchin with Flowers

Sea Urchin with Flowers

Good evening all, cough, cough, sniff, sniff, yes I still have a dumb cold.  I stayed home all day doing close to nothing and trying to lay down but find it impossible to sleep during the day!  While snuggling my camera in bed I thought why not finally do something with the piles of sea urchins I have laying everywhere, I’ve been saving them for a day just like this.  Every time Aimee and I go to the beach we are on the lookout for these dried up urchins but most of them are always broken or the birds have cracked the shells looking for a snack.  So today I rounded them all up and proceeded to check each one in a dark room with a flashlight for the one with the best glowing color.  I found out that most of the ones we have are not going to work for this type of shot as they are to dark but will be nice as a collage instead.  I spent about an hour setting this shot up, in my mind it seemed like it was going to be so easy but I quickly found out there was more to it than meets the eye.  Anyways something a bit different for you all, I know you all get tired of being underwater and want more topside stuff and I do keep a list of all the requests I receive. 
 
I wish I had something exciting to tell you but it was just one of those days!!  Have a great evening all!! 
 
Sunny Curacao regards, Barry
