Combing the beach as the sun sets over\u00a0the Sanibel fishing pier reminds us why we love our home.<\/p>\n

After getting back from Grand Bahama Island<\/strong><\/a>, we couldn’t wait to breathe in our own beach. We were greeted by a beautiful view of our lighthouse with an OSPREY keeping close to watch over it.<\/p>\n

This majestic creature posed for me long enough to let me snap this photo…<\/p>\n

Mr HERMIT CRAB came out of his LIGHTNING WHELK home to say “Hi!”.<\/p>\n

We saw many beautiful and empty shells on our own beach of Sanibel but didn’t collect any since we had already collected so many CARIBBEAN SHELLS from the Bahamas which still needed to be cleaned. Now I’m done! These are the shells we found within 2 days shelling the east end of the island and going on our boating adventure with Joel (I’ve now learned he spells his name Joel but pronounced Joe-L like I wrote in my last post<\/strong><\/a>). We always love to find so many different species like this.<\/p>\n

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

Here’s a close up of some of shells and BEACH BLIN<\/strong><\/a>G. Gorgeous, right? One day, oh… one day, I will identify all of these on one post but until then, I have other posts with identification of\u00a0most of them on our other shelling trips in the Caribbean –CLICK HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

And BTW… Happy Mothers Day to my sweet mom and all of you wonderful mothers out there! My kitties have been as sweet as pie to me today so thank you for a wonderful day my beautiful Dustie…<\/p>\n

And thank you to my baby boy RustBucket (his newest name is PuppyCat- he fetches!)… even though I busted you eating my plants today.<\/p>\n
