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

I have been looooving my long walks on the Sanibel beaches this week\u00a0with warm, sunny days. Yesterday at the Lighthouse Beach, I enjoyed finding WENTLETRAPS and other sweet minis on the Gulf Of Mexico side instead\u00a0<\/span>of on\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>pier side\u00a0where they used to be.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

\u00a0It feels so good to find the minis again.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Jim from Buffalo, NY found four times the WENTLETRAPS I found but I was most jealous of this crazy big WENTLE. Wow! Thats a whopping wentle to wet your whistle!<\/p>\n

A few days ago I walked Blind Pass beach on the Sanibel side and met Deb from Minnesota…<\/p>\n

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

She had such a beautiful variety of shells she mostly found at the water’s edge. Very nice BANDED TULIPS, FIGHTING CONCHS, LIGHTNING WHELKS, SCALLOPS and of course that sweet candy in the middle- a juvie HORSE CONCH.<\/p>\n

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

Lokks like I’ve got some catching you up to do because I got lost in time looking through all of those PEN SHELLS, BEACH BLING and researching those DOSINIAS<\/strong> <\/a>earlier this week. I also went to Tarpon Beach<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>a couple of\u00a0days ago and found this\u00a0big shell pile.<\/p>\n

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

Just a short walk from that big shell pile there are still nice low tide pools with fun stuff to explore too. This one is only about 50 yards in front of the entrance (on the left) to the public beach access.<\/p>\n

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

To show you how many shell and wrack lines there are at Tarpon Beach, I tried (its a little blurry- sorry!) to take a photo of me holding a WENTLETRAP in one of the high tide lines so you could see how far I was from that shell pile and the water. There are so many fun areas to search.<\/p>\n

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

Every beach I’ve been to in the past few days, has been so much fun to explore. If I didn’t find the bigger shells like Deb, I started to search for my fave minis. But then… finding shells is just icing on the cake sometimes. Sometimes I just want to feel the sunshine on my skin and breath in the sea. So I hope you can CyberSink your toes on this sandy, shelly beach and enjoy the blue skies, sunshine and warm weather to enjoy it with me. Sending sunshine and cybershells.<\/p>\n

PS- I’m thrilled I’ve gotten some feedback and some of y’all are enjoying my “the differences between shells” posts. I have lots of different little minis in the top photos of my Lighthouse finds so until I can get to photographing the DRILLS and such, check out these posts … Similar Small Sanibel Seashells<\/strong> <\/a>and… Seashells Open Your Eyes<\/strong><\/a>. That will help you identify most of these shells along with the SPARSE DOVE that’s in this post… I Spy Seashells And Beach Bling<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>Dont forget, you can always go to my SEASHELL IDENTIFICATION page… CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
