\"Sunrise<\/a>

Sunrise shelling on Sanibel <\/p><\/div>\n

This is a rare photo. \u00a0I can’t help it- I’m just not a morning gal so I rarely get to the beach to see sunrise. I know, I’m not your usual sheller but this isn’t your usual shelling day either. Colder temperatures (low fifties this morning), high winds, new moon and very low tide make for excellent shelling so I couldn’t resist being an early bird (ok, the time change helped). So check out all of the early bird specials!<\/p>\n

Molly and Jill had to share a bucket since they were finding so many fantastic shells. I was so tickled that Molly told me that she follows my blog (!) and before they went to the lighthouse yesterday, she made Jill watch my WENTLETRAP<\/a><\/strong> VIDEO<\/a> <\/strong>so she would know what to look for. She called it “Finding Wentletraps 101”. \u00a0;)<\/p>\n

Another blog buddy, Leisa! She is another shelling sister that has contributed to iLoveShelling with her comments. She was filling up her bucket with TULIPS (BANDED and TRUE), LIGHTNING WHELKS, OLIVES, CONCHS and of course this shellicious ALPHABET CONE.<\/p>\n

This was the 4th huge live TRUE TULIP I saw this weekend. Leisa found one too.<\/p>\n
