Devin and I went to the Space Coast Seashell Festival at the Melbourne Auditorium today. There were shells on display by collectors, shells for sale, and shell related crafts that you could purchase. All of the different variations of shells were absolutely amazing to see. I saw many shells that I don't think I've ever seen before. I love thinking about how each animal designed a different shell to fit its needs. My favorites were the ones that had lots of ornamental spiky parts. The one sad part was that many of the shells were taken while alive, not from beach combing. After seeing all of the shell collections I'm motivated to identify more of the shells I have and do more shell collecting.
