Winds from the east then west then north then south&#8230; \u00a0the gulf is constantly swirling. Because of this\u00a0continuous moving life force of waves in Southwest Florida, we get a fascinating view to watch our beaches\u00a0constantly shift&#8230; leaving sand, sea life and\/or their empty shells in different places every day.\u00a0Just like this beautiful beach bling village I saw at Gulfside City Park beach on Sanibel Island this week, it won&#8217;t be there for long- wind and rain could wash this away at any moment. But I enjoyed every minute looking at this shellmazing piece of beach art.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26367\"
