True Tulip in Tavernier
I took a drive to the Keys to get my feet-in-the-water fix and I’m so glad I did. While wading in the very shallow water at the Wild Bird Center, I found a big True Tulip.

Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum in Sanibel
Ok shellers, if you haven’t been to the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum in Sanibel, you simply must visit!
Great Beach Shoes – FitKicks
I walk a lot of beaches, for a lot of miles. I really don’t like to wear shoes because the sand always gathers inside and makes it painful and difficult to walk. So, why bother? I kept trying different styles, and then I found them – FitKicks.
Sanibel Sunsets
One of my favorite events is watching the sunset on the beaches of Sanibel or Captiva.
A Gift From The Sea – Broken Junonia
It counts! It’s broken and beat up, but it’s a junonia! Yay!
Rose Murex – My First
I sat for a moment to dig a bit at the Sanibel Causeway when this pop of red color appeared. I wasn’t even sure exactly what it was since I’d never found one before, but it’s a Rose Murex!
Holy Horse Conchs
These five horse conchs are not even thoroughly cleaned yet but look how gorgeous they are! And huge!
A Rainbow of Scallops With Some Jingles
I just love the colors that you can find in scallop shells. All colors, all sizes.
Prickly Cockles and a Carrier Shell
These shells could CARRY me through till next week! See that way cool CARRIER shell? My best one yet! I also spy a tellin, a lace murex, a nice apple murex and a whole lot more.
Fighting Conchs and Foamy Feet
There was a lot of foam on the beach this morning, but it didn’t seem to slow anyone down. The fighting conchs were out in full force.
I love fat tulip shells
I found this fat tulip today while shelling on West Gulf Drive. I also found these two colorful lightning whelks.
