Scallop and Sponge At Point Henry

January 23, 2023 by Jade Craven

56-IMG_7541

I did found something interesting at Point Henry recently. I was really excited to find this shell attached to a sea sponge. The markings on the sponge where interesting and it made me wonder if there was some kind of symbiotic relationship going on,

Turns out that it is just a generic scallop (Mimachlamys asperrima). They are meant to be a lot of fun to photograph. Live ones have blue eyes around the shell and have sponges on them.

Will definitely be keeping an eye out when I start snorkelling!

Quick Visit To Point Henry

January 22, 2023 by Jade Craven

We made a quick visit to Point Henry yesterday at low tide to do some beachcombing. There wasn’t much marine life – although we only stuck to a small stretch of the beach, and didn’t look that hard as the seaweed was stinky!

Instead, I played around with phone photography. This would be a great place to return too at sunset with the film camera.

Fungi Spore Prints: Experiment #3

November 11, 2022 by Jade Craven

I was in town with Glenn. We walked past a grassy field when I saw a lot of mushrooms. I suggested picking them to take home. Glenn pointed out that they’d likely get crushed in the bag. If I really wanted to experiment with mushroom spores, we could get some from the shops.

About a week later, he phoned up. The same mushrooms were growing in his front yard. Would I like them?
