Happy. That’s what this photo of a mom (Margaret) and daughter (Katy) from Chicago says “Happy”. I peaked into Kay’s shell bag \u00a0and knew why she had such a happy face. Who wouldnt be happy filling a mesh bag full of seashell treasures like these…<\/p>\n

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

She found this awesome ALPHABET CONE…<\/p>\n

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

Her mom Margaret found great treasures too and pulled out these two ALPHIES and a TULIP…<\/p>\n

Katy and Margaret collected their seashells this morning at Captiva’s Blind Pass but yesterday I saw Bridget and Brendan from New Hampshire on the Sanibel side of Blind Pass with the same happy faces.<\/p>\n

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

They were\u00a0exhilarated by finding gobs of shells like these FIGHTING CONCHS…<\/p>\n

While I was in the parking lot at Blind Pass Sanibel, I ran into Jean from Iowa who found an extremely large PEAR WHELK (no, not in the parking lot, silly)…<\/p>\n

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

I mean, this is a gargantuan PEAR WHELK!!!<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week on the east end of Sanibel, I showed you all of the weird BEACH BLING that was washing up on the beach. Now the BLING (and Red Tide) is moving out with some north\/northwest winds and those winds are bringing in some nice big shells.<\/p>\n

My faves (and Clark’s) this weekend have been the multicolored SCALLOP shells<\/strong><\/a>. They are amazing!\u00a0I relate it to the same experience as seeing a DOLPHIN… I will never get tired of spotting a DOLPHIN no matter how many times in the week I see them. Its the same with SCALLOPS. \u00a0I will never get tired of spotting a beautifully colored SCALLOP and being amazed by so many different patterns. They are both magical.<\/p>\n
