Ahhhhh. The shell pile is back again at Blind Pass Captiva.
In less than 5 minutes, here’s what I found….
This is what shellers’ dreams are made of.
Sittin’ N Siftin’…
Finding treasures…
I also have to point out that crazy cloud in this next photo. It was one big streak that stretched all the way across the sky. No other clouds… just that big tube cloud. My friend Ellen called me and left a message on my phone a few minutes later “Did you see that big crazy cloud in the sky?”.
I found everything but a CONE to make my Sanibel Six.
Just to have the shell pile back was good enough for me. Oh how i Love Shelling!
Ooooo, my favorite spot :) Indeed it is fabulous for finding great shells and marine life! We visit every time we stay on Sanibel Island.
Years ago I showed my son (who was 5 at the time) what “a million” looked like! He loved it and so did I. A million shells. Blind Pass is heavenly. Thanks for your postings! Love the sound of the Gulf waves.
What fun! Looks like a great time. Thanks for the chance to cyber-shell with you.
Some day I’d love to come to Sanibel for New Years. I want to be sitting on that shell pile! Some friends of mine are going down this weekend and are going on a cruise with Capt. Brian on Monday I think. I am so excited for them. Order some nice weather, would ya?? Happy New Year!
This is so unbelievable. What a sight!! Will you be shelling on New Year’s Eve, haha!! Happy New Year!!!!
It was great to see the pile back….great pics.
Amazing…wish i was back there!
WOW!!! i hope for a shell pile like that when we r there in feb!!!!
Thanks for the cyber shelling video! I can almost reach out and touch the shells and feel the water on my toes. Happy New Year, Pam and all the other shelling sistahs! (Oh and the shelling brothers, too!)
Pam – thanks for the great pics and video!! Always love to see the shell pile! How are the sand bars??
I got my iLoveShelling calendar for my birthday today!! It’s awesome – I love love love the pics!!!
That is an odd cloud. Is the sand bar getting any bigger?
OH how I wish I could get to Sanibel again, not been there since 2007 and I would /so/ love to get there again to go shelling!
YaHoo!!!! Keep the shells coming!!! I”ll be back in 3 days.
Nice to have the surf doing the shifting for you! Happy Shelling!
Looooooooooovely finds <3
I really need to WAKE UP when I leave my ILS comments! The above comment was meant for “Sanibel Low Tide Golden Sky” LOL :P
Oh my, what finds!! Wishing I was there! Thanks fir bringing Sanibel to us! Xoxo
Wow what an interesting cloud! I wonder if it was a roll cloud or “Morning Glory” cloud? Did it look as if it was rolling? Take a look at:

Pam – you talk lot about Blind Pass and Captiva. We are renting in Sanibel in April, did I pick the wrong condo location? We won’t have a car, is there a trolley or bus? Went shelling at St. George’s estuary, outside of Rocky Point today, lots of rock oysters, pink murex, fighting conch, but not a ton like you show, Oh well!!

Re the cloud – it looks like a large vapor trail from a plane. Dispursing in the wind.

So sad…we left on the 23rd…great weather but east winds and very few shells. Now need to wait a whole year…
Oh, just love the video…makes me feel right there! Can someone do that all day, every day so I can shell from Ohio, pleeeze!
Oh, how I wish I could be there to sit on that pile of gorgeous shells!
Ahhhh! Just like the shell pile I saw when I visited last year about this time. Miss it!
