My New Years Reshellution is to NEVER say “There’s not much on the beach today” when I see only crushed broken shells in the water, wash line or on the beach like this…<\/p>\n

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

Clark and I decided to visit the east end of Sanibel late yesterday afternoon near Sanibel’s Lighthouse Beach. I felt like it had been so long since we visited our “old” fave beach so we just wanted to take a nice long walk and revisit this part of the island to see if any shell piles had formed. After walking a while\u00a0without finding any nice size MUREXES, OLIVES, WHELKS \u00a0or CONCHS, I spotted a huge TURTLE sand sculpture that tickled my funny bone. I said “Oh look how cute this sand turtle is, Clark! It\u00a0looks like it may be the best thing we find tonight”.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, we hit a miniature shell honey hole with WENTLETRAPS, BUBBLES, DRILLS, MUREXES, WHELKS, OLIVES and CONCHS. It wasn’t a shell mountain like the one at Blind Pass this past week<\/strong><\/a> (and I think its still there!) but I felt like I hit gold.<\/p>\n

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

It was fun to share this little mini heaven with locals\u00a0Beth and Jim and to see them\u00a0get just as excited about finding tiny LIMPETS as Clark and I do.<\/p>\n

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

How could I ever think that “There’s not much on the beach” when hidden in pockets of tidal lines in the sand … there are magnificent beauties like this…<\/p>\n

Oh… and did you see the lunar halo LAST NIGHT? Omigosh! It was awesome- thank you Alicia for letting me know to look up at the night sky!<\/p>\n
