It’s fun to visit all Southwest Florida beaches to see what different treasures are washing up. Since we haven’t taken our boat out in lawd knows how long, it was time to dust the Shellfish off and get out on the water.<\/p>\n

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

With the holiday hustle and bustle in high gear, Clark and I wanted a day to relax, float about and shell to our hearts content without a schedule.<\/p>\n

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

\u00a0It was an exshellent day for boating and beach combing at\u00a0Lovers Key<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s a closer look at the sweet shells we found. I’m always so happy when we find ROSE PETAL TELLINS<\/strong><\/a>! They are just \u2026. well\u2026 pink and happy but we don’t find them as often on the beaches of Sanibel. And you know it’s a good day when we find WORMIES\u2026 oh yaya. So of course these are all my faves but the SHARKS EYE is a standout as well as that very bright yellowish PEAR WHELK on the top. You may have noticed that the SHARK’S EYE is nesting in a BUTTERCUP LUCINE<\/strong><\/a>, but did you notice the bivalve that the ROSE PETAL TELLINS are nesting in? It’s a CHALKY BUTTERCUP LUCIN<\/strong><\/a>E. It’s a little hard to tell how much bigger it is than the “regular” BUTTERCUP LUCINE but you can see how much bigger it is if you look back at the first photo. It’s always fun to find shells we dont see that often on Sanibel\u2026 even if its a not-so-collectable bivalve like the beautiful ANGEL WINGS.<\/p>\n

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

On our boat ride back to the marina, we spotted two DOLPHINS jumping out of the water in the wake of a pretty big boat. Weeeeee! I can’t believe I got a picture of them!<\/p>\n

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

Sending sunshine and seashells to you all. \u00a0Errrr\u2026 well, Carolina Girl Karen\u2026 that would be “Cyber sunshine and virtual seashells”. LOL<\/p>\n
