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

Tropical Storm Chantal may have fizzled out in the Caribbean\u00a0thank goodness,\u00a0but she sure has left Southwest Florida with rain, rain, rain. That’s made it difficult for our regular beach combing but we did sneak out to Blind Pass Sanibel in between rain storms this weekend where we found hundreds of double COQUINAS in every color of the rainbow. I love these little Butterflies!<\/p>\n

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

It made me think of some cool COQUINAS I saw last month on Fort Myers Beach<\/strong><\/a> but never got a chance to show you. I saw a colony of live COQUINAS<\/strong> <\/a>in a tidal pool totally hanging out of their shells. It was such a wild site! I’m not sure if they were feeding or breeding or what…<\/p>\n

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

But I did get a video so you can see for yourself. It is such a unusual site … Butterfly Kisses!<\/p>\n\n

We walked back down to the pass under the bridge to find Denise from Georgia holding an ANGEL WING she found in one of the shell piles there.<\/p>\n

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

I was thrilled for her that she said it washed up right at her feet and it was still in one piece. She said she didn’t find bags of shells but finding this one made for a perfect day. So nice to meet you Denise!<\/p>\n
