\"Lightning<\/a>

John (Florida)<\/p><\/div>\n

We had more 15 mph cold winds blowing from the north west all day yesterday. That means shelling at Blind Pass should<\/em> be pretty good. So that’s why Clark and I headed there this morning at 8 a.m……. which was a little too late to snag this huge LIGHTNING WHELK \u00a0John found. He got there at 6 a.m.!<\/p>\n

\"Scotch<\/a>

John's Scotch bonnet<\/p><\/div>\n

Geez…. AND he found a SCOTCH BONNET<\/a><\/strong>! This shell is pretty rare to find here so to find a whole one is shellicious. He and his wife come to Sanibel or Captiva to do a little shelling on the weekends from the middle of Florida.<\/p>\n

\"Scotch<\/a>

John's Scotch Bonnet aperture<\/p><\/div>\n

I always get the warm and fuzzies when I meet someone who reads my blog. Look who else I ran into!<\/p>\n

\"Christine<\/a>

It’s Christine Kieffer! She’s one of our shelling sisters who leaves fun comments and adds lots of joy to this blog.<\/p>\n

\"Shellers<\/a>

Christine and Rick<\/p><\/div>\n

Here she is in the picture above with her husband Rick who helped her get that live HORSE CONCH back safely in the water.<\/p>\n

\"Shelling<\/a>

Julie, Conner, Katie, Brenden and Kevan<\/p><\/div>\n

Do shelling families get any cuter than this? I hit the jackpot this morning running into my blog friends. Julie is a shelling sister too and brought her whole family out to gather the shell goodies.<\/p>\n

\"Conner's<\/a>

Conner's nutmeg<\/p><\/div>\n

Right away her son Conner found this huge colorful NUTMEG.<\/p>\n

\"Katie's<\/a>

Katie's flat scallop<\/p><\/div>\n

Her daughter Katie found one of my faves…. a baby FLAT ZIGZAG SCALLOP.<\/p>\n

\"Shells<\/a>

Shells on Blind Pass beach<\/p><\/div>\n

Yep! There’s Joan that I introduced to you 2 weeks ago (on my post As The Seashells Turn<\/a><\/strong>) looking for her treasures in that shell pile right next to the jetty. \"Captiva<\/a>It was so much fun to run into so many shelling sisters and shelling brother John (shelling brother just doesn’t have the same ring to it, does it. Maybe “sheller bro”… er…. uhhh… nah)…. I’ll just go with” my little shelling family”. So nice to see yall.<\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a>
