Sharmon, I need you to know that I REALLY needed this video today. My beloved Aunt who saved my life as a child had a massive stroke last week, sadly her body is still here but what remains of her mind is that of a 2 year old. She will need to be placed into a longterm care facility for the remainder of her life, prior to this she was a very active 84 year old who only retired 3 years ago. The stress of it all on top of the text message phone tag with extended family members had me feeling very close to snapping. Then I saw this video and smiled. Thank you, this walk on the beach picking up pretty seashells and saying hi to our critter friends really helped! Thank you. What you do matters.
Dear Sharmon, Here in the Netherlands, we have dense fog for more than a week now. It gets a bit better along the day, but it keeps gloomy. So, lots of airplanes are delayed because they can't fly. To be honest: we are all quite done with it, and we are longing to see some sunlight again. But that being said: the foggy day you went out shelling was amazing. And although it wasn't easy to find them, the shells are gorgeous! And those critters; you've got to love them!❤ They're so cute! 😍 I hope you have a wonderful week! Sending love and hugs, xoxo ❤, Ilona
Outside shoveling from a snow storm ongoing here in Pa., looked at my husband and said “ gotta go in, it’s Sunday nite and I am going on a shelling beach walk” 🤗 From snowy Pa., thank you!
Yay, 1st. Thanks Sharmon, that was a productive slow day. I love limpets. I can remember years ago when I carried two bags when shelling (plus a small Tupperware for tinys) and people would ask what I found. I would show them what was in one bag and they would ask about the 2nd bag, it was trash. I can't count the number of times people would say WHY and I finally got to the point of saying because it is there. This started in the early 70's, it took until about 2000 before they stopped asking why. I used to pick up 100's of cigarette butts and candy wrappers. Sorry for the rant.
if everyone who visited "nature" picked up a little litter...just think how much nicer those excursions would be for the next nature lover. litter patrol doesn't have to just be beaches;) although it would be a whole lot nicer if folks would be better about not littering in the first place
Thank you for taking us along! The high temperature for today in my neck of Idaho was 36 F and the wind is whipping right off the snow. At least I can shell vicariously through you 😊
Oh how I miss being there. But I can always count on your Sunday video to give me a reminder of why I love shelling. Stay dry and warm shell sista! Until next week my friend….have a wonderful week.
Thank you for your slow, calming voice. That’s what chills us, your viewers . Not rushing. Learning about the shells, is great. But the slow tone and inflections u use is the deal .
Beautiful haul! Love all the lilac calico scallops and all of the shells you kept. Even if you think you had somewhat of a slow day, it is still beautiful to be on those beautiful islands and thank you so much for taking us along with you! The absolute highlight of any Sunday! 😊
Hi Sharmon. As always, it was good to hear your voice and watch you find all those critters and glorious shells. Well I have to add my voice to the person below me in the comments - that first fighting conch! Oh my goodness, for those of us who love conchs, that was certainly an eye opener. I too loved the gaudy nauticas, the calico clams with the sunburst rays, that choice very white lace murex, the beady cardita, and the calico clam with the barnacles. Thank you for sharing. It's one of the brightest spots in my week. Have yourself a good week too. And I am warm in spite of dealing with temps in the upper 20s here in the PNW.
Thank you for another great beach walk. Great treasures! We have lots of snow coming to Louisiana! Its crazy. I would much rather sand than snow but my grandkids are excited. Have a great week and see you Sunday! XOXO
Very partial to the broad ribbed carnitas and loved the critters today. Here I go down the rabbit hole to look for live lettered olives . . . so fascinating!
Sharmon - If you visit the Everglades stop by two of my favorite places - the Rod & Gun Club for lunch and visit the Big Cypress Art Gallery to see Clyde Butcher’s phenomenal photography. His work is just beautiful! The gallery features several artists, but Mr. Butcher is my favorite. 😊
Turned out to be a lovely haul. Not that slow after all! How about those critters! It’s always interesting to see what the animal looked like. I have too many favorites to name but I am partial to a limpet! Thanks for taking us along!
Beach Friend, great trip to Dickman's and Kice! The shell haul was lovely, but I think my favorite this week would be my one weakness from any beach, the humble Auger, that one is a beauty. I did also really admire the broad-ribbed cardita that you likened to an abacus. Have a nice week!
We love shelling these islands by jetski. We love it so much we moved close to Goodland boat launch 3 weeks ago. Hope to cross paths with you shelling one of these deserted islands
Loved seeing all those periwinkles! Even if it was a slow day those drills are in quite great condition, it seems like a lot of the time they are at least a little bit worn in some way, I thought those were pretty neat. Awesome walk this week as always!
They always seem to be around on Kice. I can’t think of any other place where I know with certainty I’ll see them. Thank you for watching and I hope you’re having a good winter! I was looking into Holden Beach - hopefully I’ll get there one of these days!
@@SWFBeachLife It's hit and miss for sure, but it's definitely one of the more productive east coast beaches overall. I hope your winter is going well too! (I did get to film a few bucket list beach walks that I am SO excited to share!)
Hello, love! Sorry to be late. Snow falling here and -10 wind chill and that means intense pain for me. Wasn't watching the clock. So glad to shell with you, it may shift my focus! Lots of critters today! Sad that they have to die so we can have their shells. I guess, though, if they're going to die anyway, we may as well honor their memory.
Yay, Love that the winds are gone here and get to see shells and another beach video/visit to relax me. :) Love Sand dollars. I need to go Dickmans. lol. Oh how I want those Sand Dollars. If you ever decide to sell what you don't want of the sand dollars, let me know. :) That Olive is so cute. That burgundy scallop is gorgeous. Love those live fighting conchs. So cool. Pretty Lace murex. wow on the Scallops. Love those shark eyes. Love Ali. She's awesome. Love the Periwinkles. Very cool. Pretty nutmeg. So fun. Thank you for taking us along. And I'm with you, I am very whiny about being cold. lol. Luckily I come in the summer/fall time. :)
Wow, no alphabet cones from Kice today! Beautiful shells! I hope to return to the area again someday. I used to get to visit more often, but my daughter moved from FL to CO to live with me.
@ For sure. I did give it a prompt that the Lettered Olive didn’t have a proboscis and it said that that is incorrect and it said the syphon is critical for predation and survival, 🤷🏼♂️ I’m just starting to use Gemini this wk for the 1st time and I’m nerding out with it.
Have you ever wondered or even addressed on here how it is that some of the barnacles on especially the calico scallops, seem to soak up the color from the scallop shell? I always think the scallops are so pretty with their matching little barnacles. LOL....never mind you read my mind (dull reading ,eh?).
Curious, how far north do you go on the gulf side? We usually see you down at Ft Myers and south. I know you live down that way. But just wondering what the shelling is like up further. Thank you. BTW as I’m watching this we are having a snowstorm. 🥶❄️

Love today's video as always. Yes, it was a little slow, but you slowed down your dialogue to match perfectly. So relaxing. Thanks as always.
O my goodness how many beautiful shells. With wonderful colors 😍.
Oh how I miss being there. But I can always count on your Sunday video to give me a reminder of why I love shelling. Stay dry and warm shell sista! Until next week my friend….have a wonderful week.
Oh Sharmon, that first fighting conch! Took my breath away! You are such a breath of fresh air! Justvenat I've needed! Thanks!
😊 Thanks for taking us with you, also for the getting off and back on the boat lesson. ❤ Hopefully get to use that lesson soon! ❤
Thank you for your slow, calming voice.
That’s what chills us, your viewers . Not rushing.

You’re not exaggerating one bit- that sunrise ! Wow! It’s my screen saver !
Thank you for the shelling trip!
Very partial to the broad ribbed carnitas and loved the critters today. Here I go down the rabbit hole to look for live lettered olives . . . so fascinating!
Not your usual gathering of shells but I love all the critters. I’m still waiting to see a live olive in person! Can’t wait for next week!
I love to see the critters. The olives amaze me 😮

Thank you so much for your shelling videos❤ i really enjoy watching them, and i miss florida so much💗
Florida is a magical place!
Turned out to be a lovely haul. Not that slow after all! How about those critters! It’s always interesting to see what the animal looked like.
I have too many favorites to name but I am partial to a limpet! Thanks for taking us along!
I really like misty starts to the day. Lovely as always. Hugs and stay safe xx
I love seeing the critters!
Thanks for letting us come along with you!!!! I really enjoyed it!!!!!😀😀😀😀😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😂😂😂💐💐💐💕💕💕💕💖💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Anyway to go to the beach is worth the wake up call... treasures are treasures.. live or collectibles!
U found a beautiful limpet which r my favorites!

Sherman’s thank you for taking us with you! I look forward to ur videos every Sunday. Where does Ali have her Charter from?
Hello, love! Sorry to be late. Snow falling here and -10 wind chill and that means intense pain for me. Wasn't watching the clock.
So glad to shell with you, it may shift my focus! Lots of critters today! Sad that they have to die so we can have their shells. I guess, though, if they're going to die anyway, we may as well honor their memory.
True. They don’t live forever. Might as well appreciate what’s left behind. I hope your kitties keep you warm!
Not gonna lie was really confused when the alarm popped up, I thought I had clicked something on my screen when I adjusted the phone to watch😂
Yay, Love that the winds are gone here and get to see shells and another beach video/visit to relax me. :) Love Sand dollars. I need to go Dickmans. lol. Oh how I want those Sand Dollars.

Try putting the sand dollars, of similar size, flat side to flat side…it seems to protect them a little more.
Another great trip and a big haul of garbage. You’re really doing your part.
Thank you Sharmon
Thank you!
So many great shells❤
Ohhh I want to be there so bad ! 😂
Wow, no alphabet cones from Kice today! Beautiful shells! I hope to return to the area again someday. I used to get to visit more often, but my daughter moved from FL to CO to live with me.
It was a little slow, but I found a few cool things!
It has a proboscis and a syphon according Gemini. Eats clams and other mollusks.
Unfortunately AI gets it wrong sometimes so I need to find GOOD info 😃
@ For sure. I did give it a prompt that the Lettered Olive didn’t have a proboscis and it said that that is incorrect and it said the syphon is critical for predation and survival, 🤷🏼♂️ I’m just starting to use Gemini this wk for the 1st time and I’m nerding out with it.

Love seeing the shells from the islands ! I liked your gloves..do you have a link for ordering them ? Thx !!
After the last bad noseeum morning I knew I needed to order gloves. They work great!! amzn.to/3CbJb1l
Yay! Second!!
❤❤❤
20:35 who do you use to get over to those islands?
Can you find sand dollars in march?
❤
I can hear her Northern accent and just for information shells are homes to small Marine creatures so don't take too many of them
If you do find garbage with living barnacles and what not, what do you do with it?
I leave it at the beach. I hate to be the reason not-so-smart sea life dies 🤷♀️
Curious, how far north do you go on the gulf side? We usually see you down at Ft Myers and south. I know you live down that way. But just wondering what the shelling is like up further. Thank you.
BTW as I’m watching this we are having a snowstorm. 🥶❄️
