No, the title of this post is not about me as a person. My shell is always so full it is constantly overflowing. Instead, I am talking about the image above, which is another beginning attempt at line art. I know I am not supposed to add color to line art, but something inside me just insisted I add some to this one. I don’t see any reason to obey rules that don’t make any sense to me, so making changes like this just comes naturally.

The inspiration for the image was a photo I took in a small gulf shore town in Louisiana in the Spring of 2022. During that 6,000 mile trip I was determined to partake of local oysters along the way. I always lived by the rule to only eat oysters when I am within 100 miles of a coast line. Otherwise the freshness, which is critical to a flavorful oyster, is in question. I have to say here that Gulf Coast oysters are good but just not just as flavorful as the Chesapeake Bay version.

During this trip, I did learn something about myself that I hadn’t learned before, and that is

Too many oysters too close together is not a good thing.

Here are a few pictures from that day.
