Be still my beating heart!! Seeing this awesome sight of a massive mound of shells sure does get the blood pumping and the adrenaline flowing.<\/p>\n

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

Blind Pass Captiva was rocking yesterday afternoon with shells rolling in with every wave. I stood on top of the mound to see Barb from St Louis pick up a gorgeous orange FLAT SCALLOP.<\/p>\n

Debbie from Cape Coral found her first part of a JUNONIA which is the perfect size to make into a necklace or other piece of jewelry<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was thrilled to see that Sharon from Orlando<\/strong><\/a> found a very cool piece of bling…<\/p>\n

… Two different TEXAS LONGHORNS<\/strong><\/a>! This is great BEACH BLING<\/strong><\/a>! If you missed my post about them in January, you should read this post … CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yesterday morning, I was at Gulfside City Park to find a wrack line of shells as far as I could see. Seeing a long string of shells like this along the shore gets my heart pumping too but once I start picking through them, it has a different effect on me… I relax and zone out everything else in the world. Love, love, love.<\/p>\n

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

These are some of my gorgeous treasures…<\/p>\n

On my last post when I showed you that crazy STARFISH eating the SEA URCHIN<\/a>, <\/strong>I didn’t get a chance to show you some of the other cool things I found at Lighthouse Beach just after the storms came through.

I met Pam and Steve from Iowa as he was scooping up shells to bring to her to sort. It reminded me of that video of the Shellingmen Tribe<\/strong><\/a> I did last year. LOL<\/p>\n

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

They were collecting DISK DOSINIAS, BANDED TULIPS and APPLE MUREXES.<\/p>\n

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

They even found a perfect PURPLE SEA URCHIN.<\/p>\n

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

I still have so many other cool things but they will have to wait but just so you know…. Most beaches along Southwest Florida today should till be very good shelling conditions. So if you are any where near a swfl beach, get going! Just try your luck at finding at least one sweet treasure.<\/p>\n

Oh… and I added a button on the right side on this page about my camera. I constantly get asked what type of camera I use so I decided its time I just made a page about it. I’ve tried to get fancy and buy several really high end cameras with big zoom lenses but it never works out since I end up worrying about my camera instead of enjoying my time beach combing. So I stick with this one because I can capture a great photo or video while I am enjoying my time on the beach (FYI- its not waterproof though).<\/p>\n
