Shell pile @ the North Jetty in Nokomis, Florida Has anyone been following i Love Shelling blog? Pam has been giving us the blow-by-blow of all the shells rolling in on Turner Beach a.k.a. Blind Pass. For dedicated shell lovers the sight of that big honkin shell pile growing upward on Blind Pass makes you want to call in sick to work, grab your shell shovel, & head south or whatever direction it may be for you to Sanibel. For those of you that are a plane ride away in the cold & snow; looking at those shells has got to be painful & my heart does go out to you. I live 2 hours north of Sanibel via I-75 or about 40 miles as the crow flies. I've sat at my computer for 3 days now looking, drooling, enlarging the pictures, looking again at my work schedule.... ratz - I'm not off till Monday. Where I live in the Venice/Englewood area we have some spectacular beaches. Each has their own personality. Englewood's beaches are more rustic & laid-bac
No matter the wet, cold and smelly return to work...you are one lucky lady!!
ReplyDeleteI can relate.I don't like it either when having to make a living gets in the way of beachcombing. This is a major haul you got though. What a productive lunch hour.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for me - no shells on Miami Beach. Since I work on the water - I would never get anything accomplished!!!
You lucky girl you. Love that hunk of coral... I too would brave the elements for such treasure.
ReplyDeleteTalk about shell-passionaate!!! To brave this crappy weather and come up with those shells is a miracle! Congrats!

Wow, you are an impressive sheller! I get the bug, I get that . . . but when it's that cold, I have to suppress it and come here for my fix!
ReplyDeleteNice haul, I know you love those orange scallops too! Here's my idea, get a good plaster cast of a Junonia and then mosaic all these pieces your finding onto. Voila! Seriously, you done good girl.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me go virtual shelling with you, while I sit here in my fleece jammies and with the heater going.
