\"shelling<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this week the DOSINIAS were everywhere at the lighthouse. Doesn’t it look like Mr Greenjeans just dropped all of his ping pong balls all over the beach? \u00a0I know, I’m showing my age.<\/p>\n

\"Shells<\/a><\/p>\n

There has been a variety of shells washing up at the lighthouse beach this week. The MUREXES, SHARK’S EYE, TURBAN \u00a0and FIGHTING CONCH that are resting inside a double DOSINIA CLAM were some of the treasures in Dennis and Terri’s (WA) shell bag.<\/p>\n

\"Terri<\/a><\/p>\n

A shelling sister!….With her tee shirt to prove it!<\/p>\n

\"Dosinia<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a view of the outside of a DOSINIA. You’ve probably seen one of these before if you’ve come for a visit to Sanibel or Captiva.<\/p>\n

\"apple<\/a><\/p>\n

I placed their shells in the DOSINIA in the first photo because I saw this live APPLE MUREX looking so cute hanging upside down in this one.<\/p>\n

\"Wentletrap<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s a huge WENTLETRAP in Terri’s hand! The smaller one is the size we are used to finding.<\/p>\n

\"wentletrap<\/a><\/p>\n

Ha! Clark hates to be out-shelled (remember the day I found my first SCOTCH BONNET<\/a><\/strong>? \u00a0Clark found one the same day.) So of course he found a monster WENTLETRAP too.<\/p>\n

\"Brittle<\/a><\/p>\n

This was a live BRITTLE STAR<\/a><\/strong> that got caught in the receding tide so we picked him up (they won’t hurt you) and placed in back into the gulf.<\/p>\n

Here are a few pictures I took this week. I just didn’t get a chance to post them yet so the beach may have changed (as it does every day).<\/p>\n

\"Lighthouse<\/a><\/p>\n

Judy and Robin<\/p>\n

\"ladies<\/a><\/p>\n

More Sanibel Stooping.<\/p>\n

\"kids<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t worry, it’s a DOLPHIN not a SHARK.<\/p>\n

\"pink<\/a><\/p>\n

A pink SEA ANEMONE.<\/p>\n

\"Captiva<\/a><\/p>\n

Blind Pass update: I took the photo above and the one below Sunday at Blind Pass on the Sanibel side. The sand is filling in between the shore and the sand bar so I wonder if there is any water that separates it now. I didn’t see anybody collecting too much there but I’ll check it out tomorrow too.<\/p>\n
