Let me show you some more shells that I found on my first afternoon on Sanibel!

Look at this nice Speckled Slipper Shells. I never really liked the plain slipper shells, but this different species of slipper shell really won my heart!

I found an adult Florida Fighting Conch! Although many on Sanibel consider these to be common, I'm always happy to find them.

This Gulf Oyster Frill was one the bigger minis that I found. 

A baby Horse Conch- lucky me! And on my first day too :) If someone forced me to choose my favorite shell it would be the Horse Conch. I really want to find a big empty Horse Conch to take home, but that wish hasn't come true...yet.

Look at the blue of the sky and the blue of the gulf- blue is everywhere. No wonder that it's my favorite color.

This Lightning Whelk was minuscule- probably less than half an inch

Some cyber shelling for you guys!!! See all the best Bubble Shells?

A Whelk egg casing.

The shells come in with the tide...

 

Connect the dots- three Pelicans in a row!
