Beachcomber Carol found and rescued a live SEAHORSE<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong>! I introduced Carol on my November 7 post Shellicious Shelling<\/a><\/span><\/strong> because she showed me the SERPENT STARFISH and then we saw the LONG-SPINED URCHIN together. She’s also the one that gave me the packaged west coast SAND DOLLAR.<\/p>\n

A couple days after we shelled the beach together, I got this note from Carol-<\/p>\n

“I wanted to tell you about my adventure the very next day on the beach where we met. Things were slowed way down Monday in the shell dept on that same beach. \u00a0When I crossed the sand bar, however, things picked up. \u00a0I noticed some strange markings in the sand and then the creature that had made them: \u00a0a seahorse<\/em>!!”<\/p>\n

She picked “him” up and took this sweet guy to the safety of water where she witnessed his recovery. What a rescue! Carol said she snapped photos (above) as soon as she saw the SEAHORSE \u00a0and then realized he was alive.<\/p>\n

On this Thanksgiving holiday, I am thankful for so many things. I am especially thankful for my family, friends, being able to meet people like Carol and to be surrounded by so many beautiful gifts of the sea. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
