CONCH SHELLS have been washing up all along the beaches of Southwest Florida as well as CORAL BRANCHES, SCALLOPS, WORM SHELLS and a few beautiful BITTERSWEETS around the jetty rocks at Captiva’s Blind Pass…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking over the Blind Pass Bridge to Sanibel Island…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We found a few more colorful shellightful shells just as the sun was setting over the horizon on the Sanibel side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fresh new shell line of WENTLETRAPS and BABY’S EARS had just washed in in the high tide one evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Closer to the water’s edge in the morning at Gulfside at the lower tide, we saw a fresh new line of Sanibel’s most common shells washing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s always so special to share these beautiful islands and this week I got to share them with Lori (whom I’ve known for most of my life) and her daughter Hayley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had a really great week and every time they come we have a fantastic time on the beach and on the water. Last time she visited,  she did beach loving backflips. I caught a few minutes of their fun visit on video…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
