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

For me, this is the perfect evening… taking a walk on the beach without any rush, without an agenda and being happy with whatever I find.<\/p>\n

That’s how I felt this week. I just want to melt into my beachcombing and have my mind completely focused on… well… focused on NOTHING. Ahhh. It worked. And as soon as I started breathing, feeling the warm breeze and being so happy to have my toes on the sand after a long week…. the rest of the world melted away.<\/p>\n

That’s when I found WENTLETRAPS! …And SAND DOLLARS!<\/p>\n

I get a little “edgy” when I cant get my fix of the beach. Yes, I know, I’m VERY fortunate to be have access to the beaches of Sanibel and Captiva as often as I do but this week was so busy catching up with life in general (we all know how that goes) I didn’t get to get my normal beach therapy. There is one thing I NEVER take for granted… beach time. That’s why I think it’s important to share it because I loooove looking through wrack lines like this one near LIGHTHOUSE BEACH and knowing you love it too…<\/p>\n

I even think it’s cool to see SEA PORK<\/strong><\/a>…<\/p>\n

I was thrilled to find my treasures to take home but my favorite thing on the beach I found this week (that I couldnt take home) was seeing a mama SNOWY PLOVER and her babies. So sweet!<\/p>\n

They are so hard to see because they blend in so closely to the sand but I snapped a few pictures of them without getting too closely to disturb them. And I got a little video! Enjoy the THREE SNOWY PLOVER BABIES AND THEIR MAMA video<\/p>\n

But for now… enjoy the SNOWIES!<\/p>\n
