It doesn’t get any better than seeing a huge pile of shells wash up on the beach within one day. I was shellucky enough to see it happen at Blind Pass Captiva and to get the video of it I showed you on my last post<\/strong><\/a>. It was Shellectric!<\/p>\n

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

Talk about “shellucky” – local sheller\u00a0Susan from Pine Island found a CABRITS MUREX!<\/p>\n

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

Shellzam!<\/p>\n

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

These are just a few other fab shells she found as well…<\/p>\n

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

Lolly was there with her homemade shell belt collecting all sorts of goodies.<\/p>\n

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

She found all sorts of shells like HORSE CONCHS, WHELKS, MUREXES and\u00a0FLAT ZIG ZAGS and GIANT BITTERSWEETS…<\/p>\n

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

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

After seeing my “CANDY” (my little HORSIES in the first photo) and Lolly’s as well, an orange HORSE CONCH is all Patti from MN\u00a0was wishing to find. Moments later… voila! Patti whooped it up when she found her own sweet “CANDY”. Yay!<\/p>\n

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

Babs from St Augustine was there to see all the shellnanagans and to find her own treasures.<\/p>\n

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

Its always fun to see what makes different people happy when they find something unusual. I was thrilled when Babs showed me this awesome ROUGH SCALLOP that had obviously been damaged in its lifetime but survived the predatory incident (IMHO- I’m thinking that’s prob what happened).<\/p>\n

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

See? At one time, this mollusk knew it had more life to live and repaired its damage to see more days. I love those type shells! This even looks like it tried to manage the shape of a heart.<\/p>\n

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

This shell pile\u00a0event doesn’t happen every day so when I’m\u00a0there to witness it, I try to breathe it all in and enjoy every single moment.<\/p>\n

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

I didn’t make it back yesterday so I have no idea if it’s all\u00a0still there. Let me know if you found any treasures at Blind Pass over the weekend.<\/p>\n

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

PS- I was at Gulfside City Park Beach over the weekend and its still loaded with shells and bling too. :)<\/p>\n

Oh and I hope to see y’all at the 2015 78th Annual Sanibel Shell Festival at the Sanibel Community House this weekend March 5,6, and 7!\"2015<\/a><\/p>\n

UPDATE 3-3-15: I stopped by Blind Pass Captiva …. the shell pile is completely picked over and filled with sand. Amazing. The top picture had new shells in this post washing in and the lower picture was 3 days later. \u00a0The power of Mother Nature…<\/p>\n
