Sanibel Sunset<\/p><\/div>\n

Sanibel is the perfect canvas to paint sensational sunsets, beautiful beaches, wonderful wildlife and of course, bountiful beach treasures.<\/p>\n

Painting the Sanibel lighthouse<\/p><\/div>\n

Clark and I walked the beach around the lighthouse late yesterday afternoon in search of some minis. I was looking for KEYHOLE LIMPETS for a picture for my Seashell Identification<\/a><\/strong> page. I looked in all of my bags, jars, buckets and drawers of shells and\u00a0couldn’t believe I couldn’t find a good LIMPET to photograph.<\/p>\n

\"Keyhole<\/a>

I found one! …..and another and another. Then Clark joined the hunt and found a few too.<\/p>\n

My eye was focused on the pattern of these LIMPETS but I kept seeing the SPOTTED SLIPPERS so I picked them up too.<\/p>\n

\"Spotted<\/a>

Spotted Slipper Shells<\/p><\/div>\n

Since I was focused on the minis I even found TUSK SHELLS which are only 3\/8 of an inch long. I was tickled to find them since I’m just learning to have the eye for them. I found three hanging out with a WENTLETRAP<\/a><\/strong> and two DWARF OLIVES.<\/p>\n

\"Miniature<\/a>

Clark found this teeny tiny TURKEY WING. So to show how small it is, I put it next to the other minis.<\/p>\n

I think I’ve been having miniatures shells on the brain because I just can’t believe how sweet this little beautifully framed piece of shell art is I received last week from Sanibel Sister Judith. You have to remember her! She is one of the sisters that uses those giant sized tweezers to pick up the minis at the lighthouse when they come to visit. This is what they make after picking up all those sweet little shells. Talk about a beautiful canvas for those mini shells. I absolutely love it! Thank you Sanibel Sister Judith!<\/p>\n

Judith should enter her work into the Sanibel Shell Fair and Show. \u00a0It’s starts this Thursday March 3, 2011 and runs through Sunday March 5. So don’t forget and I hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
