Designer Trappings

Lobster Traps, Schoodic Peninsula, Maine  © Doug Hickok

Dear lobsters,
Do not be tempted by these lovely designer colors.
You may think that getting away from the mirky sea bottom and rising to the heights above the sea is progress... success.  You may have even heard of a process that will turn your shell from dreary and dull to a stunning shade of red and of bathing in fragrant  liquids.  DO NOT BE FOOLED!  Trust me... There's no place like home!

Sincerely,
Becky Hickok

    HA! Beware of the traps all around you, for sure! :D This actually has a 3-D feel to it, Doug. Very cool.

    Out of a complex mass of lines, you've isolated the one trap nicely.

    this is a lobster trap with a sense of style, reaching out to like-minded lobsters! but as your warning letter says, beware of the trappings of fashion (pun intended)!
