Shellzam! Elyssa found a CABRITS MUREX! We don’t see these spectacsheller spiny treasures wash up on our shores of Southwest Florida very often so it was exciting to see such a beauty. But wait! Huh? Another one? Yes! Elyssa’s mom Jeanne (Indiana) found one too in the same area at Blind Pass Sanibel this morning. Woot Woot!<\/p>\n

I got out on the beach this morning before sunrise at a negative low tide to see what loot I might find washed up on the shore. First person I saw was Tracly (Gainsville, FL) with her flashlight – they were both beaming.<\/p>\n

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

She was thrilled to find her ALPHABET CONE along with a nice FLAT SCALLOP, TULIP, NUTMEG, WHELK and a very cool cluster of BARNACLES.<\/p>\n

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

It was so nice to meet Linda from PA too. She was overjoyed after finding her JUNONIA. Boom Shellalaka! This was just one of many great shells she found before I got there at 7am. She was there at 5am. hahaha Love it!<\/p>\n

Erin (Ft Myers) and Shannon (Norfolk, VA!) were there with their flashlights too letting the shells wash up to their toes.<\/p>\n

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

Erin and Shannon showed me their fave shells and I fell in love with her wrist tatt. (okay, I’m really not that cool to have a tattoo or to even call it a “tatt” but I couldn’t resist- heehee). Seriously though, its so sweet.\u00a0It’s says \u2026. just breathe\u00a0\u2665<\/span>\u2665<\/span>\u2665<\/span><\/p>\n

Savannah was collecting shells for her mom’s birthday…<\/p>\n

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

Here is Savannah with her brother Tommy, her mom Melissa and dad Thom. Melissa told me that her mother Barb was the sheller of the family who got them all hooked on beach combing but instead of hitting the negative low tide, she wanted to bake Melissa her favorite birthday cake. Awwwww\u2026. so sweet!!! Happy birthday Melissa!<\/p>\n

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

Kevin from Ontario was very happy to be in 70 degree weather but even happier to have scooped up the perfect ALPHABET CONE. He said his favorite saying is “Conch If You Love Shelling!” hahahha I’m Conching!<\/p>\n

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

Okay, do me a favor\u2026 \u00a0I want you to go back up and look at the photo of the beach where Tracly was sitting with her yellow bucket and flashlight. That was at 7am \u2026 and by 10am this is what happened to that same spot. A shell mound! OMG That’s how quickly the beach changes!<\/p>\n

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

I took a video so I’ll try to get that up and running soon so you can see for yourself how exciting it can be to watch the shells come in. Tomorrow is another veeeerrrry low tide in the morning so it should be fun to see what washes in next! To see the Tide Chart CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
