May you always have a shell (perferably a junonia) in your pocket & sand between your toes ~ a Beachcomber Blessing


It's time to shuck off those sneakers, take off those Tom's, & kick off those flip flops.  Summertime is here and it's time to go barefoot.  Being a Renaissance woman with some redneck inclinations - going barefoot is  a regular event for me. I love the feel of soft grass under my bare feet.  I like the feel of sand between my toes even better.  One of my shell sistahs has the best of both worlds.  She can kick off her flip flops and head to to her local beach - Barefoot Beach in Bonita Springs, Florida any time she wants. Congratulations Carla on finding your first junonia.

You'd be sporting an ear-to-ear grin too if you'd
 have found this rare highly-prized junonia.

has just joined the elite club of junonia finders.

  5. I need to clarify tho..the junonia is the newest addition to the treasure tray. The other items have been found throughout the year. If I found all that in one day I'd pass out!! @Capt. Brian..I have found several of the sting ray barbs and not just on Barefoot. But the coolest one by far, I did find there and it still is attached, by a sort of hinge mechanism to another bone...Dude you gotta check this out...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ5iO-iBkGY&feature=plcp
