I am not dressed for it and don’t have my gear, but once I saw there were a few things rolling around, I got a plastic bag out of the car and a long tree branch from up at the high tide line and went shelling the hard way! I got a few good things – alphabet cone, horse conch, and my first-ever baby’s ear. It was too cold to stay very long.

…oh a MUCH better activity for Monday than standing in a lineup to nowhere.
Oohh, nice shells. Looks like an early Christmas for you. Gorgeous horse conch and alphabet!
Beautiful!! You collected all those in one “cold” trip to the beach? I haven’t been shelling in a while and because I’ll be away for the holidays I guess it will be a little later still and then I think I’ll have to take trip down to Sanibel:~)
