Easter Colors Sanibel Style

By

Easter Seashells

Everywhere I looked last night, I saw the colors of Easter… in seashells.

Easter Sanibel sky…..and in the sky

Easter coconuts…..and around the palm trees.

sister shell seekers

As we “hopped” around to the lighthouse beach filling up our Easter shell basket, I ran into sisters Carol and Gail finding goodies for their basket (errr, shell bag ;) ).

Carol Sanibel shells

It was their last night on Sanibel and Carol finally found her first WENTLETRAP at the lighthouse beach. Yippee! Congrats!

Lace Murex in sand

I found sweet little LACE MUREX.

Dusky cone on sea pork

And I found this cute little DUSKY CONE on a piece of SEA PORK. It looks like an Easter egg broke and the yoke spilled everywhere, doesn’t it?

Aimee fighting conchs

Then we hopped on over to the beach off Middle Gulf Dr. and met Aimee (too shy to have her picture taken) where she found three of these FIGHTING CONCHS so I added the one furthest down in her palm. Look at how cool it is since it has a “freak” growth pattern.

Even the BANDED TULIPS had a hint of pink for Easter.

Happy Easter! Good wishes for you all to shellebrate the day.

    Happy Easter Dear Pam and shelling sisters,
    Thank you and bless you for these beautiful Sanibel colors..
    I hope my Mom, “The Mermaid” from your January 25(?) post and my sister, a Sani-Belle you haven’t met yet, get to meet up with you on the beach sometime during these next 2 weeks.

    Now this is my idea of an Easter Hunt! Thanks for the beautiful pictures!

  19. Susan B from Toronto says:

    Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

    Sanibel is truly the spot.

    I’m just on my way home from St. Pete’s/Clearwater. There were plenty of shells–but nothing like Sanibel.

    Enjoy!!!

    Nice to see someone had a sunny, warm Easter. Wish I was there for the egg hunt. Loved the ‘yolk’. Happy Easter to all and to all a ‘good night’.

  21. Morgan says:

    Stunning. Happy Easter, all!

  22. CShells says:

    As usual I loved all of your photos. Hope everyone had a nice Easter. Does anyone remember what Pam found last Easter? Check out the whelk she found last April, I believe it was about April 4th. Maybe you found something even better but smaller, say a Junonia.

  23. Carol Wood says:

    Pam, it was such a pleasure to meet both you and “Supersheller” Clark! I was so excited to find my first wentletrap and to make your amazing website. It was the perfect ending to my vacation…..hope you see you again SOON….. Hope you had a great Easter!

  24. Jean says:

  25. Cindy from MN says:

    Awesome job! I absolutely love and enjoy every minute I spend on your site! You brighten gloomy MN days (not today ’cause we have some sunshine of our own for a change)! Thanks for sharing your beach heaven — on Easter and every other day — with us!
