My Shell Cup Runneth Over

By

lion's paw on north captiva

I’m speechless. The day after I found my very first JUNONIA, I found a big beautiful LION’S PAW.

Really!!!! I found it on North Captiva on Saturday. I really can’t even find words to tell you how lucky I feel. Maybe because I’m exhausted from searching beach after beach all weekend (you know that feeling!) especially after I got the major adrenaline rush from my JUNONIA. I just had to share this with you tonight. I couldn’t wait one more second! Until tomorrow for the rest of the story….

    Pam,
    Congratulations on your great finds! I just joined your blog and facebook page, but have been visiting Sanibel since I was 9 and still haven’t found a Junonia or Lion’s Paw~ just pieces! Now, it is my daughter’s favorite place to go and it was her first plane ride when she was only a few weeks old! My parents are snowbirds there so we will be coming into town after Christmas. Dad volunteers at the Ding Darling Refuge. Would love to meet you! Will you be around?

    Thanks for sharing all of your information and great photographs!
