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 are such a lucky girl too - living in Sanibel! One day I will actually have to unpack my Sanibel shells (I have an entire crate of them!) and will have to show some of them off in a blog post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for you sweet comments on the Everything Coastal blog!
I wish :) I live about a 2 hour drive north of Sanibel. If I had a boat it would be a 30 mile trip south on the SWFL coastline. It is my favorite place to go shelling & I visit as often as I can. I would love to see your Sanibel shells.
DeleteIt was snowing like crazy when I woke up today, and my feet felt like ice. And yes, I thought about how lucky I am, and about what a privilege it is to be alive --- but I ALSO thought about how nice it would be to be back down in YOUR part of the country! :)
