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
Looks like our hibiscus will get nipped! Stay warm, my friend! ♥
ReplyDeleteA very arty sculptural garden! And I love the way the waves whip the beach in the winter. Sigh. You're right about the winter poker -- I would LOVE to wear just one layer of fleece! I just had a warm dinner and the warm company of my grandkids and son and daughter(IL), but I sure don't enjoy the Michigan winter!
ReplyDeleteWe plan to bring the plants in tomorrow...tonight is supposed to be ok...just cold (to us Floridians). I was at the beach today, too. The birds were standing in the water, facing the wind...looked like a parade. There were sea gulls and two other species I did not recognize...got to get my book out...

Look at that gorgeous whelk you got!!! Some friends of mine were on cacyo costa with capt. brian today. They had a great time, but said it was very windy.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend in Orlando and I'm always amazed at how variable the weather is there in Florida. You really have a beautiful stash of shells there. Simply lovely.
