I had to go back to the beach again last night around 6 o’clock to show Clark all of the amazing shells that were washing up on the beach by Casa Ybel Resort. It looked completely different from around noon when I took the pictures for yesterday’s blog. No big shell piles but shells galore spread out like an easter egg hunt.
Janene , Jaelyn (her daughter) and Nora (her niece) found a great spot to just sit and dig around in the watery sand. Can you believe they found all of those goodies in that one spot? Nora even found a BABY’S EAR too. Janene told me that they were were making necklaces, shell boxes and a mirror with all of their found shells on this trip. Janene is a 3rd generation Sanibel sheller which makes Jaelyn a 4th generation Sanibel sheller. Sounds like a happy family to me…and a happy birthday for Janene!

I think we saw at least 12 live HORSE CONCHS in the shallow water but we did get to take one home that didn’t have an occupant…..nice, huh?

The end of a beautiful Sanibel shelling day
Yes, a beautiful sunset!!
Lovely shells and pictures.
THANKS SO MUCH for the wonderful BLOG of our memories yesterday!! The few hours we were all on the beach were a treasure of a lifetime in the world of birthdays! The memories, now into the 4th generation, are wonderful to build on as well as reminisce about. It was wonderful to meet you, talk with you, and share our treasures of the day. Thank you for taking the time to stop by at our “digging hole!”
Janene, Jaelyn, and Nora
J, J, and N- I’m so sorry Jaelyn, I misspelled your name at first….but it’s now corrected.;) Not a bad way to spend your birthday, Janene! It was so nice to meet yall too.
Small world! Thanks for the whelks today. Nice talking with you and Clark. Janene, Jaelyn and Nora are my cousins. I’m sure they were much better shellers than us!
Hey, thanks for visiting my Squidoo lens. This blog is excellent and I will be linking it to my Squidoo lenses and my “seashells by millhill” blog as well.
I love your photos too! Now I am homesick for the south….
We continued to have good luck and two days after meeting you, I found a Junonia on the beach near Tarpon Bay road around noon in/mostly on a pile of shells while we were all walking from Pointe Santo to West Wind Inn! (email me and I will send photos). Yea!
wow! send photos!
