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

Oh Yaya! After a weekend of chilly north winds, I found my first FULGURATOR OLIVE<\/strong><\/a> at Blind Pass.<\/p>\n

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

I found it washing up in a somewhat small shell pile about 100 yards from the jetty rocks on the Captiva side.\u00a0I saw only a few shells near the jetty but when I looked down the beach further into Captiva I saw several people perfecting the Sanibel Stoop (or I should say the Captiva Crouch) then saw the small pile being formed…<\/p>\n

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

Wow! When I got there, this is what most of the “Stooper’s” shell bags looked like…<\/p>\n

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

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

Pretty awesome, huh? Karen (the first white shell bag), Lorrie (the red shell bag with all the beautiful SCALLOPS) and Dave were all from Wisconsin so the 50 degree weather didnt bother them a bit. Especially since they were finding such good shells. Oh and Dave, thanks for taking my picture with my treasure too. ;)<\/p>\n

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

Then I met another Dave (he’s from NJ) scooping up his own treasures…<\/p>\n

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

Take a look at his gorgeous LACE MUREX, FLORIDA CONE and BANDED TULIP. I love the color of the LACE MUREX!<\/p>\n

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

I was watching the shells roll in and snapped this photo of Dave using his “shelling backhoe”. The second I stood up (of course keeping my eyes on the shells), I spotted my FULGURATOR<\/strong><\/a> in the corner of my eye but lost it with the next wave. I stood there for less than a minute keeping my eyes on every shell washing up… and there it was again! Snag! Yeeha! I’ve looked for it in this photo several times to see if I could find it but it’s not the right angle. Its in there somewhere…<\/p>\n

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

Karen’s husband Scott returned (to our lucky shell pile) from a walk down the beach…<\/p>\n

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

It must not have been just our shell pile that was “lucky” because Scott found his own luck. Look at those huge SHARKS EYES, his own brown colored LACE MUREX, ALPHABET CONE, BANDED TULIP and WHELKS, CONCHS and LETTERED OLIVES galore…<\/p>\n

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

We moved to Florida because we aren’t big fans of cold weather. But when the north winds bring in shells like this… bring on the cold weather! And bring me more shells like this!<\/p>\n
