\"2012<\/a><\/p>\n

This says it all…. 2012 is a gorgeous year on Sanibel. Sanibel’s Lighthouse Beach was no exception yesterday where I met Melissa using PEN SHELLS to make this “sign of the times” (heehee). Her kids Ricki and Mack made perfect models to show off her seashell art.<\/p>\n

The beach and parking lots have made a full recovery from Tropical Storm Debby<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>last month. Even the STARFISH are recovering! Days after TS Debby, we saw hundreds of live STARFISH washed up on the beach with most of their arms broken off. See how resilient they are? This one had 4 out of 5 arms broken off (I’m sure from the storm) and all 4 are growing back now trying to match that original long arm on the right of my hand. Cool, huh?<\/p>\n

I also saw a live SEA HARE (or SEA SLUG)! It’s always a treat to see these graceful creatures swimming along our shoreline.<\/p>\n

I have video of a larger one 2 years ago which shows the purple ink shooting out (CLICK HERE<\/a><\/strong>), but this SEA SLUG is much smaller and has little green “horns”. Here’s another quick vid taken in knee deep water near the Sanibel pier.<\/p>\n

PS- Oh, and don’t mind that AHH-OOO-GAA noise at the end. One of my best buddies was calling me on my cell phone… that’s her ring tone. It makes me laugh every time!\u00a0LOL<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
