Joyce from Alabama found this gorgeous specimen on the Captiva side of Blind Pass in the shallow water sand bar on a very low tide Friday evening. Her husband Dan was right there by her side to help her shellebrate. Congratshellations! Lucky Dog!<\/p>\n

She probably found this about the same time I was shooting a little video showing the tidal water running out of the pass and catching a few shells. At the end of the clip, I show Dan and Joyce shelling in the background and comment that I’m sure they found some good shells too. I had no idea HOW good. Ha! Check it out…\u00a0<\/p>\n

I loooove that spot when the low tide is still receding and just strong enough to carry the shells along with it.<\/p>\n

Augusta, Philip, Sybil, Guy and \u00a0Pierre from my old stomping grounds Chattanooga, TN (I lived there 1988-91 and loved it!) were especially thrilled to find FIGHTING CONCHS since they are a\u00a0Fighting Irish family. Cute!<\/p>\n

I met another happy family… Emma Caroline, Jeb, Carolyn and Keith from Mississippi had bags filled with shells from the Sanibel side of Blind Pass.<\/p>\n

Marie from PA was bound and determined to find treasure. I saw her pacing back and forth on the outer sand bar and couldnt wait for her to come back int to see what she got. A beautiful lemon yellow HORSE CONCH…<\/p>\n

And more pretties…<\/p>\n

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

Marie is only half of “Two Crazy Girls from Philly” (as she commented on iLS Facebook). Here she is with her best friend and other “crazy girls” Sue…<\/p>\n

The shells were still at the same spot I showed you on my last post<\/strong><\/a>…<\/p>\n

We all felt like lucky dogs just to be out on the beach on such a beautiful Memorial Day weekend… even the real dogs were having fun doing the Sanibel Stoop!<\/p>\n

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

Yes, Lucky Dogs indeed.<\/p>\n
