Our friends John and Jane<\/a><\/strong> strapped a Zodiac dinghy to the top of their car on\u00a0Saturday\u00a0and invited us to join them for a boating adventure down to Marco Island. Yes! We are always ready for a shelling expedition.<\/p>\n

The whole day was golden…<\/p>\n

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

Literally! Both John and Clark<\/a><\/strong> found GOLDEN OLIVES<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

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

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

When we all got back to the boat, everybody was showing off their best finds and both guys held out their hands holding the GOLDEN OLIVES…<\/p>\n

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

Look at this huuujah ANGEL WING Clark found. It fills my whole hand…<\/p>\n

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

This was an ALPHABET CONE John found for the day.<\/p>\n

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

These are Jane’s FLORIDA CONES. These are pretty golden too!<\/p>\n

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

Here are the rest of her best finds.<\/p>\n

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

A nice 10 inch old crusty HORSE CONCH I found on the low tide sand bar…<\/p>\n

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

I heard Clark yell and start waving his arms. Oh no, he di-ant! Another one? He couldn’t have found another you-know-what. I looked to see how far away he was since I was way out on the sand bar. See that little speck? That’s how far he was from me.<\/p>\n

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

Okay,..you might want to avert your eyes if you’ve had a bad day or just can’t stand the thought of Clark finding yet another J….. uh…. I can’t even say it. To show me where he found it,\u00a0he had it sitting right where it was when he walked up. Here… see for yourself.<\/p>\n

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

Really? How come I didn’t look there first? The man is a shell magnet. Here is a close up of his nearly perfect JUNONIA (just the tip is missing).\u00a0I want to find one!\u00a0Not that I’m jealous…. oh, geez. Of course I’m jealous! Oh I’m happy for Jane and “him” too…. I guess. ;) It even has a golden color to it too!<\/p>\n

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

You know I’m just kidding about being upset I didn’t find the big J. How could I when I found so many beautiful shells on such an awesome day? Here are some of our other golden treasures…like candy!<\/p>\n

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

TOP SHELLS…<\/p>\n

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

BRUISED NASSAS…<\/p>\n

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

TAMPA TURRIDS…<\/p>\n

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

FALSE ANGEL WINGS<\/a><\/strong>…<\/p>\n

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

DUSKY CONES…<\/p>\n

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

and even a cool BRYOZOAN COLONY…<\/p>\n

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

PS- \u00a0I popped off some of those crusty barnacles to uncover the shell of that HORSE CONCH I found out the sand bar. It’s beautiful! I found a home for it on my outside steps as a happy welcome to our Shell Shack.<\/p>\n
