Orange ZigZag Scallop Kind of Day
Who doesn’t love zigzag scallops? I love them! Especially the orange ones.
Sand Sculptures On The Beach
I just love when I stumble upon sand art like this. These two were basking in the sunshine on Middle Gulf Drive on Sanibel.
Whelk-come to the Weekend
I got a warm whelk-come to Sanibel this morning. This lovely lightning whelk was in the water near shore at low tide at Blind Pass on Sanibel.
Sunrise at Three Waters Resort
Spent a weekend in the Keys, Islamorada to be specific. The views were amazing and the sunrises were even more spectacular.
Amara Cay Resort in Islamorada
Amara Cay Resort in Islamorada has long been a favorite destination. I visited when it opened on summer 2015 at the site of the former Hampton Inn (and Outback Steakhouse) at Mile Marker 80.
Imperial Venus, Fit For A Queen
This is my first Imperial Venus and it’s a beauty. It’s in perfect condition!
Sunrise at the Lighthouse
You’ve got to get up awfully early if you want to be the first one on the beach. The sun wasn’t even up and look at the people wading in the water at the Sanibel Lighthouse!
It’s Golden
Is that pretty or is that pretty? That, my friend, is a GOLDEN OLIVE. She is so shiny and golden!
Blogging for ‘Tween Waters Inn on Captiva
I have some cool news to tell you about. I’ve been asked to be a blogger for ‘Tween Waters Inn on Captiva Island.
Shelling in Key West
I was staying at the Sunset Key Cottages and went for a beach walk on their private beach each evening. I found my first keeper – a green sea urchin (empty of course).
Rainbows and Pelicans
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood, shellers! Check out that pretty glimpse of a rainbow in the clouds.
Fighting Conchs Everywhere
This morning on Sanibel, I took a walk by Gulfside Park and there were fighting conchs everywhere.
