Oh, those Oysters - Feast Your Eyes

Cold, briny, clean and salty: is there any food that offers a more refreshing counterpoint to the heavy summer heat than the oyster? These beauties, from Pt. Reyes, Calif., were snapped by Nicole at Cucina Nicolina. Their pearlescent, craggy appearance captures the soothing yet bracing pleasure that lies within the act of swallowing one whole. It's an almost otherworldly experience, tasting the essence of the sea and mysteries of the earth's history on your tongue, but there's nothing alien about the feeling of suddenly wanting to follow it with another oyster. And another. And another.

[Via Cucina Nicolina]
