There are lots of shells at Blind Pass Captiva! Actually I’ve heard there are shells all along Sanibel too at morning low tide but I’m so happy I went to Blind Pass because I met Katie from Kansas who found all of the gorgeous shells in the photo above. Look at that huge, shiny BANDED TULIP and huge TURKEY WING she is holding! Here she is with her dad Mark…<\/p>\n

I saw Dave and Peg from Cincinnati…<\/p>\n

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

who showed me their incredible shells. Okay, normally I would be whooping it up about that perfect ALPHABET CONE (which deserves a big whoop!) but I could not take my eyes off that orange… yes, orange… FLAT SCALLOP! I rarely see them wash up that color so it’s exceptional that it’s so perfect and that dang big too! Congratshellations you guys!<\/p>\n

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

you have to be shelling at low tide in the mornings.<\/p>\n

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

 The early bird catches the candy!<\/p>\n

PS- No, I never found that ALPHABET CONE I thought I saw in my last video<\/strong><\/a>. Darn! But it was fun trying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
