<\/a><\/p>\n

As I hear about the terrible winter storms north of Florida, I feel a wheeee bit embarrassed to be complaining about the chilly weather of 54 degrees here on Sanibel Island that swept through yesterday. So before I get out my big down coat and boots with wool socks to head to the beach, I’m hoping if I post the photos I took earlier in the week from our iLoveShelling trip to Big Hickory (when we were still in bathing suits, shorts and tee shirts), it’ll warm us all up a tad.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There were warm, colorful shells strewn all over the bright\u00a0sunny\u00a0beach. ;)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Our group was able to wade in the Gulf Of Mexico without a care in the world.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And find ALPHABET CONES, LACE MUREXES, LETTERED OLIVES and FLORIDA FIGHTING CONCHS.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nI met awesome families with rosy sun-kissed cheeks finding buckets of shells.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

GAUDY NATICAS, ROSE PETAL TELLINS, ANGEL WINGS, SHARKS EYES and NUTMEGS.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Wow…. and more ALPHABET CONES!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

So many shellers with their\u00a0ALPHIE eyes on!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It was such a pleasure to spend such a gorgeous day hanging out with so many cool shellers.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

SEA PEARLS, DRIFTWOOD and WORM SHELLS…. I absolutely loooooove these beach treasures.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

JUNONIA Sue (from my last post<\/strong><\/a>) and friends were with us!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank y’all for coming out and enjoying the day with me.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

A day of beach combing always warms the heart…. and hopefully helps give a little warmth even if it’s virtual shelling. Stay safe, y’all!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll let ya know what these high winds from this winter storm washes up on our beaches soon. The waves are entirely too rough right now but the anticipation… always exciting! :)<\/p>\n

PS- I’m trying to work out some new dates for the next few months so once I get everything worked out, I’ll post them on the Shelling Trips page HERE<\/strong><\/a>. Hopefully soon!<\/p>\n
