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
Beautiful beach photo! I also like all the different shells you found. While you are enjoying the beach, we had our first snowfall on the mountains today. It seemed in snowed in many parts of the country today and in parts of Europe. As for us, it seems a little early for the snow though I could be wrong (we didn't get any in the city, just in the mountains).
ReplyDeleteOh dear, that Red Tide does sound bad, particularly if it makes you cough so badly. Glad there were no new fish kills, and that you were rewarded with some new shells!
ReplyDeleteLots of shark teeth indeed. I imagine red tide is natures way of keeping the balance but I sure do hate hearing about all the dead things upon the beach.
ReplyDeleteLots of great finds, and those scallops are gorgeous! Hope the red tide is over and hasn't drifted up to my beach by the time I take another trip to the coast. Sorry it's at your beach :(
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about the red tide! doesn't sound good.

That red tide is nasty stuff. Do they think it's dissipating tho? What a nice gift to receive. I'm curious how you like it. Looks good! Love your little mermaid too.
ReplyDeleteLoved the first photo! Nice finds. Red tide sucks.
ReplyDeleteReally, the red tide has hung out for a long time!!! FYI~~Carrie G. called yesterday...so I have her update :(
