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
You got some really nice finds on your shelling adventure. I've never seen shark's teeth before.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH, a lion's paw?! How fantastic, I am suddenly breathless with need and amazement. Sigh. Get a grip. Breathe. Composed again. Nice find, Green Pea.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are as big as dinner plates! What amazing shells! Enjoy your weekend! I hope we are back in FL soon!
ReplyDeleteOh......how I wish that was our sailboat passing you by again!! We had such a fun trip to your lil piece of heaven....still look at all the shells I found there. wish I could have found YOU too!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that Lions Paw and that horse conch. And I spied a great Olive in that first shot. Your IPhone takes great pictures. I didn't know Donna S lived there. Looks like a great day was had at the beach.
ReplyDeleteLoved Donna Summer! May she rest in peace on the most heavenly beach.
ReplyDeleteI see an olive in that first pic with it's tip knocked off. Perfect for a bracelet! I see you didn't pick it up :( but you did find lots of great shells, teeth, and so many goodies. What is that little tree looking thing? I have a mini one of those. They almost look fake, but they are so cool. Oh, and there's a sharks eye, too! That's Kim's fave.
Beautiful beach scenes! Thanks for sharing...wish I was there!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing lovely woman of God <3
Nice Lions Paw! And Della's right - The sharks eye is my fav. I think you came up with a new name - Pam has the Sanibel Six and you have the Manasota Five! Gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, you live in shell heaven! Can I be your new best friend?:) I am having a shell bracelet on my blog, please visit if you can.
ReplyDeleteHappy Shelling!
