This is my first attempt in becoming a photo hunter and I hope the picture above isn’t too “predictable”. I’m not exactly a creative kind of person, which explains why I couldn’t find a picture that depicts “empty” in my collection of pictures, hahhaha 
So yea, anybody wants to take a guess?
If you guessed “empty egg shells”, give yourself a pat on the back. And if you guessed “empty terrapin egg shells”, give yourself another pat
These are empty river terrapin egg shells that we collect over time. The terrapin eggs that we purchased from the egg collectors were incubated in styrofoam boxes. At the end of the incubation duration of about 80 days (on average), the terrapin hatchlings pip and crawl out of the egg shells. And when the styrofoam boxes were emptied to analyze the contents of the “artificial nest”, all the empty egg shells will be uncovered, washed and stacked away.
These empty egg shells make very good educational materials because they’re light and can be easily brought and displayed in any exhibition. By just using the empty egg shells, we will be able to explain — in a simplified version, minus all the details and statistics — about the reproduction of the terrapins to the public (like how I did it in the above paragraph).
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
*phew* at first i thought u were gonna say u ate all those terrapin eggs!
pelf: Me?! NEVER! Yucks..
Ok, am I ever dumb…I don’t know what a terrapin is… So here I go, off to Wikipedia… And find out! thanks for visiting my blog
pelf: I think you should have found out by now that a terrapin is a riverine turtle
Wow! Not creative? I think that certainly qualifies! The close up had me wondering… Good job!
~~~Blessings~~~
pelf: Thanks for the compliments
A nice take on the theme of “empty”.. And a good visual aid for your conservation message.
pelf: Thanks! At least now I know that the message is getting through!
Thanks, I learned something new today.
pelf: I’m glad you did
So far this is the most unique photo serving for “empty”. And if I may say, this is so creative of you. Welcome to the photo hunt!
pelf: Thank you very much *smiles*
Very creative even if you don’t think so! The closeup in the first photo is very artistic looking. Thanks for allowing me to learn something new along the way. :-)
Thanks for stopping by.
pelf: Thanks for the kind words
And I am glad it has been educational for you 
Good empty photo, and welcome!!
Thanks for helping them survive
pelf: I am only doing whatever I can in my capacity.. You should see what my Supervisor has done
Welcome to the hunt! Great photo for the theme, and educational too!
pelf: Glad you liked it
Welcome to SPSH - I love your excellent and very creative take on the theme, b.t.w. *patting on my back* =)
Be sure I´ll return to see some more!
pelf: Thanks!
i have no idea what terrapin eggs are… But still a cool chosen photo for this week’s theme! nice to see some cool photos around… Happy hunting!
pelf: I hope you have an idea now
Let me know if you’d like to know more about terrapins 
Welcome to the Photo Hunt!
Those are lovely pictures and a great take on the theme. Thanks for teaching us about terrapin - they sound interesting!
pelf: Thanks for the kind comments
This is a very interesting post. I was thinking eggshells, but I couldn’t quite get past the fact that they were flexible. I would have thought of reptile eggs, but then I couldn’t understand why anyone would have a pile of them in one place. Now I know. Thanks for the education.
pelf: Glad you found it educational!
I actually guessed eggs!!! What a fabulous shot for “empty”! Very creative
pelf: *pats Melissa’s back*

Great pictures for the theme and welcome to Photo Hunters! I have only been doing it for a few weeks myself, but I can tell you it’s been a lot of fun!
pelf: Hhhaha, it sure is fun!

Very cool! I didn’t know what it was.
