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
Whats that oval black piece next to the bottom white scallop?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful calico with the orange stripes. I wish we had them up here in Dunedin, ours are sort of plain. Some day we will each have our own kayaks and bring Kimmy down and go exploring, I'm itching to breathe some fresh air.
ReplyDeleteWe actually had a nice eastern wind on Saturday morning last so my kids enjoyed an hour of sharks' tooth hunting before they left for Iowa...red tide wasn't so severe so the coughing was minimal. :)
ReplyDeleteYou had some good finds! Hopefully the red tide will be gone soon so you can get back to collecting, and walking the beach.
ReplyDeleteHey, I've been coughing and sneezing since before Christmas, and not a single sharks tooth lying in the ice and snow, so it sounds good to me! :)
ReplyDeleteDid not realize there was a red tide. Bummer! Hope it clears soon...
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Good finds even with red tide. I haven't had time to hit the beach lately but all I have to do it walk outside and breathe to know red tide it out there since I'm right over the bridge to the beach. It stinks - literally!!
