Not only did Hurricane Isaac bring in loads of various species of shells and BEACH BLING<\/a>, <\/strong>the storm brought in the most glorious colors of treasures I’ve ever seen. As you can see in the picture above, the shell colors are spectacsheller but it was also so exciting to find a few pieces of SEA GLASS, MILLIPEDE STARFISH<\/strong><\/a>, CORAL<\/strong><\/a>, WORM ROCK<\/strong><\/a>, OPERCULUMS<\/strong><\/a>, and BRYOZOAN COLONIES<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was also thrilled to find quite a few CONES but look at the variation in color of these ALPHABET CONES. I love this deep dark brown one in the middle!<\/p>\n

 I found this brownish CONE which I assume is just a really fabulous FLORIDA CONE like the others but I haven’t seen that deep rich color here in SouthWest Florida before. Look how big it is…. I loooove it!<\/p>\n

 I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this CHESTNUT TURBAN either! Look at the fantastic pattern and colors of the one on the left!<\/p>\n

The FLORIDA FIGHTING CONCHS were everywhere so it was almost overwhelming. I normally don’t collect them any more but I couldn’t help but pick up a variety of the colors after Clark<\/a> <\/strong>found the ALBINO FIGHTING CONCH. There were so many different colors than this (and in better shape) but these are the ones that made it home with me… White, tan, orange, brown and black.<\/p>\n

The JUVENILE FIGHTING CONCHS were out of control! I could have gone crazy! But then again, I had to ask myself… “Self?” “How many shells do you really need to take home?” … Then I answered “Okay, Self, I’ll only take enough to show my fave peeps on my blog”. (That gave me a great excuse to take just a couple more than I needed. ;)) So now you have <\/em>to look at all of these patterns and colors so I can make my Self feel better… heehee…<\/p>\n

  On my August 30 post<\/strong><\/a>, I showed you a darling blue bucket with all kinds of great shells pile to the top and the lucky gal Amy who found them. Well Amy also found this incredible brown OLIVE shell that I am assuming is an unbelievable LETTERED OLIVE (9-13-12 UPDATE: I assumed incorrectly! It’s a FULGURATOR OLIVE! ). I know, I know, it doesn’t look like a LETTERED OLIVE (because it’s not… please see my post Brown Olive Shell Mystery Solved!<\/strong><\/a>) but just like the other shells I’ve shown, the coloring can vary tremendously.<\/p>\n

Isn’t that sooooo beautiful?? Look at the aperture side. It’s just as fabulous…<\/p>\n

The last few weeks on the beach have been so amazing. Mother Nature has yet again colored my world.<\/p>\n
