Sunset on the east end of Sanibel
Sunsets are so romantic. You don’t get to see the actual sunset from the beach on the east end of Sanibel but the sky can be so colorful and breathtaking. I’m not even sure if it isn’t even better sometimes to see the reflection like this one last night because it seems to last forever.

It must have been in the air because Carol wrote a seashell love note to her husband in the the sand using SCALLOP shells while on a “girls only” vacation with her daughter Emily. She took a picture of her note (Bill + CM) and said she would email it to her husband when she got back to her hotel room. How sweet!

Jim and Beth (Sanibel)
We ran into Sanibel friends, Jim and Beth, combing the shoreline for the mini shells. They found a few DRILLS, AUGERS, a teeny tiny CONE, an OLIVE and a funky chunk of CORAL.

Wow! I will be down there in a few days time and I can’t wait to enjoy the sunrises and sunsets first hand ;o)
I will also be there next weekend and I am going to try to catch all the sunsets (sunrises??) and high (low tides) that I can. I am so concerned about the oil spill that I will endure your hot temps (mine are 95 and muggy too!)
Pam, thanx so much for your blog (the only blog I’ve ever read!) because I feel like I am actually there when I see your posts. I really look forward to them. I don’t have a laptop and I will actually be without your guidance while I am there. Is there any way I can ‘get in on the action’ you find without a computer?
A couple of ideas- if you have an iphone, there is an app for facebook. I try to send updates of new blog posts on http://www.facebook.com/iLoveShelling. The Sanibel library is a wonderful place to visit if you need to get out of the sun and they have computers. You are so sweet to want to see my blog posts but remember to enjoy every moment in the hunt for shells. Listen to the waves, watch the birds and other wildlife, breath in the beach smells and pick up the smaller shells if you don’t find the big ones. Enjoy.
Ahhh… my heart and soul longs to be there. Thank you for your posts. They keep my dream alive of coming down there soon.
