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

We didn’t see an abundance of shells on the beaches of Sanibel earlier this week but now the winds have changed from east to west along with evening negative low tides throughout the weekend… soooo… now we are finding shells again!<\/p>\n

We weren’t the only ones that found this little sweet spot on Sanibel about a half mile on from the bridge that connects Sanibel to Captiva at Blind Pass. Judy B found the Sanibel Six<\/strong><\/a> plus lots more…<\/p>\n

Judy B was on the iLoveShelling cruise to Cayo Costa<\/strong><\/a> on Sunday so I was thrilled to see her again on the beach with her son (in the water shelling).<\/p>\n

After I took that photo of her hand with all of the shells, about 30 minutes later, she showed me another gorgeous handful of shells she just found. I couldn’t resist! I had to take another photo with that spectasheller GAUDY NATICA (COLORFUL MOON SHELL), NUTMEGS, BANDED TULIP, CHESTMUT TURBAN and that SPINY JEWELBOX with such nice spines…<\/p>\n

Ron and Sharon (South Dakota) and Annie, Rachael and cutie little Keara (in front) from Minnesota were all scooping shells out of the surf too…<\/p>\n

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

They found quite an awesome assortment…<\/p>\n

I started shelling right beside Lynn and Ed from Pompano and saw they were having a ball finding great shells. They said this was the best shelling they had seen all week…<\/p>\n

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

Lynn showed me her bag filled with BANDED TULIPS and more…<\/p>\n

But hold on… I have video of them! LOL I started taking a movie of all of the shells in the water and saw them keep picking up shells so I had to ask what they had. Ha! It’s hard for me to concentrate on talking while I’m filming because I get so distracted so easily. Errrr… and it’s the first time I’ve ever turned the camera on myself. Oh well, I’ll get more comfortable one day if I do more of that nonsense. Who knows but click on the vid to see..<\/p>\n
