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

It still amazes me how many variations of beautiful shells can be found on Sanibel during a morning walk on the beach during low tide.<\/p>\n

Laura drove to Sanibel’s Gulfside City Park<\/strong><\/a> beach from her home in Fort Myers Beach to collect a few shells this weekend. She may not have filled up her shell bag but the treasures she found were well worth the trip… especially the fabulous\u00a0FLAT SCALLOP, MUREXES and gorgeous LETTERED OLIVES she showed me (in the first photo).<\/p>\n

Her husband Shannon found lots of those same shells in the high tide wrack line.<\/p>\n

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

And he found oodles of CONCHS, DRILLS and TURKEY WINGS too to fill up his bag.<\/p>\n

Our weather this weekend has been absolutely perfect with high 60s in the mornings and low 80s in the day. Love it!<\/p>\n

Stacy (Pompano, FL) was having lots of luck shelling the tidal pools where she was happy finding all sorts of shell loot.<\/p>\n

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

She found those glossy colorful OLIVES as well but she loves the minis too so my fave shell of hers was the tiniest and cutest little TOP SHELL (furthest to the left in her hand- cutie!).<\/p>\n

I saw Barbara from NJ again but this time she showed me one heck of a beautiful shell she found… a GOLDEN OLIVE!<\/p>\n

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

It was a dark mustard color – almost orange – and sooo beautiful but…. it was still alive. \u00a0Most of the shells at the shore line were alive but I found most of the empty shells in the high wrack line or in the higher tidal pools. Barbara\u00a0showed her GOLDEN OIVE\u00a0to us long enough for me to get a photo, then she returned it to the sea. Breed, GOLDEN OLIVE, breed! LOL<\/p>\n

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

It’s always nice to go on vacation like we did last week<\/strong><\/a> but living on Sanibel is sooooo nice to come home to.\u00a0We are happiest living by the water’s edge on Sanibel just like most of the shells we saw at low tide this weekend… happy, healthy and very much alive.<\/p>\n
