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
I have never heard of a 'red tide' before. Those poor fishies! I could sit for hours and listen to the waves of your video - such a soothing sound :)

ReplyDeleteHope you we able to find a few treasures :O)
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteI love the pounding surf. I enjoyed listening to it in your video. Thanks for sharing that! I couldn't believe that huge, dead fish on the beach. Such a sight! What kind of fish it is, do you know? I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today because I'd lost your blog URL. Now I can put it in my reader. Happy week ahead!
