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

You want another reason why i Love Shelling? Seeing a site like this! This Reddish Egret was wading in a tidal pool at Sanibel Lighthouse Beach pacing back and forth stalking his prey. I could have stood there for an hour watching this entertaining canopy dance. Errrr….. wait, I DID stand there for an hour fascinated by his show of chasing minnows.<\/p>\n

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

Even though it distracted me from finding more shells, I didn’t regret one minute of it. To me, that’s what shelling is about…. finding treasures AND drinking in nature and the view along the way. Even the man made views. How cute!<\/p>\n

And yes, there were even shells and SAND DOLLARS too!<\/p>\n

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

I found more of those cute little juvie SAND DOLLAR “sand dimes”<\/strong><\/a>! I found live ones down on the surf line which I left alone but I also found them high in the high tide wrack line to bring home. Way in the background you can see the Lighthouse so you can see how far I was from the point. It was a hike but worth it.<\/p>\n

I found all sort of BEACH BLING semi hidden in the seaweed. I placed the LEOPARD CRAB SHELL on the purple SEA WHIP but I saw the SAND DOLLAR laying exactly like this…<\/p>\n

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

I zig zagged the beach to look on the edge of the tidal pools to find a clump of BUBBLE SHELLS…<\/p>\n

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

When I see lots of BUBBLES hanging out like that, I immediately start looking for WENTLETRAPS!<\/p>\n

This is what I found…. Are you ready CYBER SHELLERS? Now after you take a little CYBER SHELLING stoop by clicking on the next photo to enlarge, make sure you scroll down even more on this post because I have another somethin to show you… a video too. Shell on!<\/p>\n

Okay, back to the movie! Now you will be able to see the low tide tidal pools I was walking through and around to see so many amazing sites during the Easter Holiday weekend. There were so many live STARFISH! They are amazing to watch so enjoy the show!<\/p>\n
