\u00a0Sunrise. There’s something so peaceful about beach combing on Sanibel as the sun rises over the Gulf Of Mexico. It makes the rest day even more special after receiving a gift of the sea like this beautiful LIGHTNING WHELK.<\/p>\n

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

Soooo\u2026. why don’t I do it more often??? Ack! It’s terrible that I don’t take advantage of seeing such an incredible welcome from the sun each day. But\u2026 I’m just not a morning person. \u00a0I do love to shell in the morning when there is a very low tide like this week at sunrise so I went to Gulfside City Park<\/strong><\/a> to find these beauties\u2026<\/p>\n

Every day has been such different shelling at Blind Pass the past few weeks so since I was already up and at ’em, I showed up at Blind Pass Sanibel by 8 am to find the shell pile getting even bigger. As I’ve said before, it only take 2 hours for this beach to change from “not many shells” to “Holy cowrie! Look at all the shells!”.<\/p>\n

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

I met Carol and Terri from Pennsylvania who were thrilled with their morning treasures…<\/p>\n

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

These were Terri’s fave finds. Wow! She said if she had to pick one, that stunning GAUDY NATICA (COLORFUL MOON SHELL) was her ultimate find.<\/p>\n

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

I asked Carol what her fave treasures were from the morning and this is what she showed me. Wow again! Two dark KINGS CROWNS and they both found CANDY!<\/p>\n

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

This was just a peek in Terri’s shell bag…<\/p>\n

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

So I think I will just enjoy the few mornings like this when I have the umpfff to get out to see sunrise.<\/p>\n

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

It makes the day even more special.<\/p>\n

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

I’m working on dates for more shelling adventures so I hope to have those by the end of the week. Stay tuned!<\/p>\n
