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

As Jack Frost nips at the noses of you folks in the NorthEast, I want to send you some warm thoughts. I wish I could send you the warm weather too but my photos from the Sanibel Lighthouse Beach from last night will have to do for now. I was walking the up on the beach in the wrack lines and found a few sweet minis…<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0You may notice that something is missing from the photo above. Boohoo. For over 8 months, the photos of the shells in my hand were accompanied by my spiritual line bracelet<\/strong> <\/a>that was given to me when I was blessed by a Buddhist Monk in Thailand. It fell off naturally… just like it was supposed to do. \u00a0I miss it already but it’s okay. I know that every day is a gift so I don’t need it to remind of that any more.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, let’s get back to the lighthouse! Clark was working the shelling backhoe in the water just off \u00a0the surf line. He was finding lots of cute minis as well but then he found something he had to have me see immediately. A juvie ALPHABET CONE!!! SUPER SHELLER CLARK \u00a0is back in action! We don’t find them this small very often so it’s always exciting to see how stinkin cute they are…<\/p>\n

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

Then he started really looking for the minis. We saw the “coffee grounds” and “crumbles” which are normally where we find the WENTLETRAPS<\/strong><\/a>. See that dark area in the water that Clark is picking through? See how it looks like coffee grounds? That’s one clue we look for when we want to find wentles and minis…<\/p>\n

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

We didn’t find many of the WENTLETRAPS but we did some a few. They aren’t shown in his hand, but he found these other cuties…<\/p>\n

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

It was almost dark when he found another really cool LETTERED OLIVE. Well, I’m just assuming this is a LETTERED OLIVE. It had such an unusual coloration but the form is a bit different as well. It looks like a GOLDEN OLIVE from this side (and notice that darker color strip along the lip)….<\/p>\n

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

But from the other side, it no longer looks like a GOLDEN with that one brown streak down the center. I think this guy just had some growth problems but managed to overcome most of its hurdles. I think it is extraordinarily beautiful so I’m tickled Clark found it.<\/p>\n

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

So I hope our little walk on the beach thawed you for a few moments because…<\/p>\n

I want you all warmed up for my exciting post on Monday! I know, it’s a tease. heehee But I think you’ll really like it and I’m not finished with the final touches so it will have to wait until Monday. Until then…. Sending warm weather with love.<\/p>\n
