My friend Diane joined Clark and me on the beach off\u00a0West Gulf Drive<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0yesterday for a lovely afternoon of shell seeking. We wanted to find a big WHELK like last week<\/a><\/strong> but she was just as happy with a candy HORSIE CONCH.<\/p>\n

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

She was even happier to find 9 BABY’S EARS…<\/p>\n

Then to top it all off she framed her Sanibel Six<\/a><\/strong> in a very creative MANGROVE SEED POD picture frame.<\/p>\n

I met another blog buddy Candice from St Pete! She saw Clark with his shelling backhoe and asked him “Are you Clark?” LOL<\/p>\n

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

She said she wasn’t finding much, so I walked with her just for a few minutes and we found a few goodies… 3 ALTERNATE TELLINS, a PURPLISH TAGELUS, COQUINA, FALSE ANGEL WING, 2 CONCHS, a LACE MUREX, a TURBAN and a beautiful BABY’S EAR.<\/p>\n

All of Candice’s shells were found on the high and dry wrack line on the far right of this next picture. On the sand bars, there were hundreds of FIGHTING CONCHS \u00a0and a few bigger shells…<\/p>\n

Aha! That’s where the big WHELK was that we were looking for. Jennifer (Sanibel) had already found that prize AND three ALPHIES!<\/p>\n

\"Jennifer's<\/a><\/p>\n

Nice finds, Jennifer!<\/p>\n

Clark didn’t find another big WHELK but he did find a huuu-jahh piece of WORM ROCK. He knows this is another fave of mine. It doesn’t look like anything fabulous in this photo but trust me, it’s cool. This is a rock\u00a0formed\u00a0by a\u00a0colony of VARIABLE WORM SNAILS (not exactly the same thing as my “wormie shells” we find) and it’s not every day for us to find it this big.<\/p>\n

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

Look at it close up…<\/p>\n

Rock on and have a happy Monday!<\/p>\n
