Looking for seashells has kind of turned into an obsession for me. I am shocked at the fantastic shells I'm still finding at this time of the year!

Hi Shell Whisperer ! Its me.... Limpet girl ! I am trying to imagine what it must be like right now to stroll along the sandy shores of Florida, where the sun kisses your skin and the gentle waves serenade your senses. As you gaze out onto the beach, you're suddenly captivated by a mesmerizing sight-the sheer abundance of stunning Florida Fighting Conchs scattered all around. Everywhere you turn, your eyes are met with an ocean of exquisite shells.They gleam with vibrant hues, displaying a kaleidoscope of pinks, oranges, and creams. The delicate ridges on their spiraling shells seem like strokes of an artist's brush, effortlessly accentuating their allure. Each Conch beckons you with its enchanting presence, teasing you with its elegance and leaving you craving more. You find yourself torn, unable to choose where to direct your attention. They're everywhere! You feel like you've stumbled into a conch convention, and they've all shown up to flaunt their beauty in unison. Its like a conch coilition ! You move on but glance back, only to find a conch parade following in your wake, as if they've adopted you as their fearless leader. They flaunt their vibrant colors...shamelessly.. hoping to catch your eye and secure a special place in your heart. It's like you're their unwitting victim of their vampirism and conch charm . Oh, the trials of being willingly lured in. You chuckle at the absurdity of the situation, realizing that you've unintentionally become the beach's hottest conch magnet.

It is not always a safe or pleasant experience to go shelling . I make time for Sharmons videos and walk the Florida beaches with her and emerse and indulge myself shellfishly to learn AND have fun. It makes me happy to know that Sharmon isnt the only sheller here who reads my thoughts and reminds me that warmth exists beyond my frozen fingertips.

Good evening (again) Beach Angel! This is truly an embarrassment of riches, seashell style! So glad you got so many fine shells in the early summer! Does a net help when you're surf shelling? A bargello point calico clam! How lovely it would be to make a needlepoint pattern from that shell! What a pillow that would make! Congrats on the sea glass, girl! Beautiful murexes! Great rose murex find for your bucket list, too! You're an amazing garbage collector, as well! Who'd have guessed? Wonderful trip today, Angel! Thanks for taking me along! Love from the Lost Mermaid

I would love to see another Venice shark tooth video. I had a lot of success at the dog park there. I had my scooper and went into the water where all the shells pile up, and picked the shells up and dumped them on the beach. I sorted it out, I was there for 4 hours and got around 200 teeth, Although this was in the winter. Love your videos!

Correct on the little rough scallop. I love seeing the ghost crabs (or any live crab for that matter)! Interesting striping on that AC. A lot of times the upper wrack line is from the high tide that occurred at night. So where I shell at HI, no one has checked it if I'm early so I usually do. Have found some pretty awesome stuff up there. Lol. I went in with my mask at Lido Key last week and drifted with the current. Found a few things but ended up getting seasick! There was a huge marked off area at Lido that had hundreds of black skimmers that were nesting in it. I got to see a lot of immature ones I'd never seen before. Was really cool. Interesting color pattern on that rose murex...and you pointed that out!😊 Thanks Sharmon! xxoo

Skimmers are my favorite shore bird. They are just so goofy looking and I love the way they "skim" the water. I've gotten seasick too snorkeling!!! I have had better luck with my full face mask but I'll get a little nauseated when I snorkel sometimes. Wish I could have shelled up by you this past weekend but maybe I should wait for the shells to really come back anyway.

Hello Netherlands Beach Friend! If you liked this video you're going to like Fort Myers Beach too. I can't wait to share the shell I found. I also decided it's been a while since I've seen the East Coast of Florida, so I decided to drive across the state yesterday. There were plenty of shells, but not really a great variety and I wondered how hard it was going to be to make a video and all of a sudden the bucket list shells showed up for me! It was so exciting. It's been such a strange, but fabulous summer. I'll take it! Hugs, sunshine, health and love in huge abundance being sent your way. ❤️🐚🌴🌊

Oh my gosh I would LOVE to see a turtle nest hatch. I've gotten to see one little turtle make its way into the ocean but I do hope I get to see a whole next of those babies one of these days.

That FFC almost has the shape of a Hawk-wing conch, very cool. I think the high tide line is the most underrated area of the beach for shelling. I think most people just assume it's picked over when in reality most people think the same thing, and it goes unsearched. I found my largest Sanibel wentletrap to date at noon under seaweed in the high wrack line near Sanibel lighthouse, so you just never know. Can't wait to see your albino find next week! (Wild guess: is it a double albino prickly cockle?)
@SWFBeachLife
@SWFBeachLife Жыл бұрын
You are close on your albino guess - it is hinged. And epic!! And I will take that high wrack line story to heart and try to remember to check it out more often. That's where I found all those seahorses over on Sanibel.

It’s kind of the same thing with thrifting, you can’t assume just because someone got there first that they found everything! Go up into the upper rack line, sometimes the best stuff is in there and the other people can’t find everything!

I think rockhounding, thrifting and shelling do indeed have lots of similarities. I happen to love thrift stores too - I tend to always find the shells! 😂

I could only find information on Queen Conches, but assuming that they have fairly similar life cycles, several sources said juvenile stage is from 1 month to 1 year, maturity is around 3-4 years.

There are probably more mollusks than any other critter on the planet and yet we still know so little! There are queen conch "nurseries" in Cuba so it makes sense that people would know more about them than other critters. Fascinating stuff!
