Windy, Cool days in Florida!

The last couple of days have been a little chilly for Florida, Fall is definitely here. I went out to the beach yesterday in long sleeves because it was 62, ....I know, not cold for up north, but chilly here!!

Crazy windy too, it pushed the water out, but I found very little.


I did find another Baby's ear though!
I saw lots of broken Angel Wings
and spotted this Alphabet Cone....
It was pretty rough, so I left him for someone else.  

Today it was much cooler, 54 degrees, that's sweatshirt weather for me! So on went the sweatshirt and I headed for the beach, there was less wind, today, but the water looked awful....root beer colored everywhere!

I found an area up on the beach where there were lots of minis, so I just sat down in the sand and took my time to look. Usually I head down the beach and look for something else, this time I just settled in and started looking.... here's a look for you too...
 Did you see the wentletrap in the center?

I scooted down a few inches and looked here....
See the 3 Wentletraps in the center?
I kept on looking, slowly moving down the beach...another Wentletrap and a small Baby's ear...
Then I found this tiny guy, another Baby's Ear, so tiny and perfect. I put it on my finger for a pic, and just after this (not so good pic), the wind caught it and blew it away....I never found it! :(  so sad!
After a while, my minis ran out so I headed up the beach... found all of these together stuck in the sand...a Banded Tulip, Juvenile Fighting Conch, Small Pear Whelk and a nice Shark's eye.
 Also this true Tulip and nice pointed Fighting Conch...
 ...and an ALMOST Flat Scallop
 I found this odd shaped Pear Whelk and Kings Crown covered up in the sand also
 The minis were the highlight for me though....here they all are...added a few more Wentletraps to my collection!
...and here is another Tiny Baby's Ear (next to the dime) to show how small it is!

Stay tuned!
