\u00a0Gabriel found this live STARFISH (BROWN SPINY SEA STAR) on a PEN SHELL at low tide late this morning at the Sanibel Lighthouse beach. His whole family came over to look at it and to ohhh and ahhh so I had to find out what the fuss was about. It’s just beautiful, isn’t it? Yes, I mean the STARFISH is beautiful but also to hear the excitement and amazement of finding life and treasures that come from the sea. That’s beautiful too.<\/p>\n

Gabriel, Danielle, Peggy, Paul and Mark<\/p><\/div>\n

It was such a pleasure to meet this family! They were trying to learn the names of all the shells they were finding so I was thrilled to help them. This was our best find…. an ALPHABET CONE that was semi buried in the sand.<\/p>\n

I don’t have photos of all the shells we were finding but here are some of the shell they found that \u00a0I help identify…<\/p>\n

Oh how I’ve missed my walks at the lighthouse \u00a0beach on Sanibel. Ever since the day light savings time change, I’ve been discombobulated. I like my walks with\u00a0Clark<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>in the evening but now it gets dark too early for me to wait until he gets home from his office. But now after meeting such an amazing family on the beach today, it got me right in my\u00a0beach combing time zone again. Here are a couple of my finds….<\/p>\n

Most of my finds today were half buried in the sand like this half buried perfect ANGEL WING.<\/p>\n

\u00a0This LIGHTNING WHELK was perfectly empty too but I almost missed it since only this much of it was showing. More buried treasure.<\/p>\n

This morning started off my weekend with a smile so I \u00a0hope I can pass it along to you too. Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
