If you happen to stop by the Sanibel Captiva Chamber Of Commerce<\/strong> <\/a>on your way on the island, say “Congratshellations!” to Anne at the welcome counter. She found her first JUNONIA this week!!!<\/p>\n

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

Wow! It’s so pretty! Like Mimi<\/strong><\/a>, this is an early Christmas gift of the sea too.<\/p>\n

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

She told me she found it rolling in the surf at Blind Pass Sanibel half way from the pass to the newly exposed seawall so I of course I high tailed it down there to see the beach. Remember the erosion I photographed last month<\/strong><\/a>? Well, the seawall is still exposed but not as much. It’s filling back in slowly but surely.<\/p>\n

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

By the time I got there, I only saw a few shell lines but I could see there were shells still rolling in the surf. After I took this next photo, I got to thinking that in probably six months, this whole wall will be buried again and we might not see for years to come. The power of Mother Nature.<\/p>\n

The other side of the pass (Blind Pass Captiva) is starting to show signs of smaller shells rolling in. I doubt that little sand cliff will be there very long since we have some good west winds predicted to for this weekend. Yippee! I’m hoping the bigger shells will be coming in soon!<\/p>\n

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

I sifted through some of these shells in this new pile…<\/p>\n

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

And I found a COMB BITTERSWEET<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

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

I don’t think I’ve ever taken a photo of this shell before. Hmmm. I’m really not sure I’ve found one before either but I don’t think that it is a rare find here. So I looked through my collection but didn’t find one. Okay, honestly, I’m really not that organized but still… I didn’t see a COMB BITTERSWEET in all the shells I pawed through in my garage buckets.<\/p>\n

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

It’s a little “nibbled” on the one side but now I have it in my “collection”. Ha!<\/p>\n

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

Okay let’s get back to the real important things…. Anne’s JUNONIA! Since Santa gave her an early Christmas gift like the SEAHORSE (I painted with a Santa hat) Mimi received, I had to give Anne’s JUNONIA the same special treatment! A JUNO-HO-HO-HO-NIA!<\/p>\n
