Slow and Steady Beach Therapy

It was another beautiful Morning near the East end of Sanibel Island, Florida.... 65 degrees and with a slight breeze, the only sounds are birds and the water slowly lapping up on the beach, headed toward low tide....How does that sound? Nice Huh?! 

Another day of Beach Therapy, and I just took my time, in no hurry....pretty soon I found this awesome Apple Murex...I don't normally pick these up as I have way too many, but this one was Big and Perfect, lacy even...

...and it was Purple inside!!

It was a nice sunrise....

 I managed to catch the sun a couple of times through the holes in the clouds....

 ...still beautiful!

Back to the beach stroll....

Olives aren't my favorite either, but I do collect them for a friend, and I couldn't resist this one....more on the way Sheila!!

I did find one of my favorites....a Medium sized Horse Conch....we call them Ponies....Love the coloring on this one.....!

...and another favorite, True Tulip....

Most of the shells I found today were buried in the sand...so you HAD to go slowly so you didn't miss anything!! They were hiding!

Small Horse Conch...

Banded Tulip....

Lightning Whelks...

I actually love this kind of shelling, takes concentration and is great Therapy! :)

I got to see some live stuff today too!!! 

This guy charged me as I stepped into his tidal pool....he was adamant that I leave the area!! 

and this beautiful Sea Anemone...

Notice, I'm getting better with the new camera....Learning every day!!

Here are some of my finds for the day....

Murex....Apple and a couple of Lace!

One of my Favorites.... Horse Conchs... so many different colors and sizes!

and more 'Sheila Shells'! (Lettered Olives)

Here's my finds for the morning....another good day!

It's supposed to cool off tonight, so I may have to add a couple of layers of clothes tomorrow....but I plan on being there!! 

Stay Tuned!
