    Loved getting my Sunday night joy. IT WAS -17° and a wind chill of -40° Friday night and Saturday. On top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire, it was -48°, winds at times at near 100 miles an hour+ and a wind chill of -108°....you can understand how wonderful my beach time with you was so wonderful❣🦋❣🌊🐚🐚🐚🥰. You mentioned meeting followers on the beach. It occurred to me I have never seen you beautiful face. I would trip over you and not know unless, you said "hellow" and your lovely voice would tell me instantly. I am not being strange this is part of your gift as you shell for us. Thank you so much❣🦋❣

      I love being "incognito" when I go out. I have to be careful on shell tours. I can usually get away with no one knowing me - unless I open my trap - LOL! Holy smokes that's some cold temperatures. I just thought this morning's low 60's wasn't all that bad. I would never be able to tolerate those crazy cold day 🥶

    I so look forward to spending time with you every Sunday evening. We have just had a cold front go through… as low as -30… yep, no kidding… for the past three days and then up to 10 today… truly… winter’s not over yet but I’ll take the warmer temps over the deep freeze. So, being able to spend time with you on the beach is WONDERFUL!
    Beautiful beach walk today, thank you for sharing your time on the beach as always. Take care of you. Love from Ontario Canada ❤️

    one of my favorite shelling spots! Last time I was there, (new years day 2022)
    I saw my first live octopus, attached to the south side of the jetties, waiting for the tide to come back in. Always seem to be many live critters in that area.

    What a gorgeous sunrise!! You did great with your shell findings. Love how the nutmeg looks twisted at the bottom of the shell. Love the shell that you can see the inside. That was so cool!! I looked up the Spotted Eagle Ray and found it fascinating. The ocean sure has a beautiful variety of life in it!!

    I know they're considered common but I really love the banded tulips. The perfectly straight lines that occur in nature just wow me...like the hinge side of the turkey wings...just cool to see. Thanks for the walk and I can't wait to see next week's trip!

    • @SWFBeachLife

    I hadn’t heard of the spotted eagle ray, but I broke away for a second to google it. They are gorgeous. The website did say they don’t have teeth, they have grinding plates. Good find. Love this walk. You found a couple shells I hadn’t seen before. Loved the beach time👏😊

    • @SWFBeachLife

    I am crazy about prickly cockles- I know they are everywhere but I still cannot resist picking them up whenever I see them. I went to Coral Cove on Jupiter last Tuesday and got a real haul of olives, seraphs, calico scallops a few teeny tiny conchs and a few super huge jingles. No matter the shells one finds, you cannot beat the beach in January.

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  ปีที่แล้ว

      Beach in January pretty much sums it up. And I'm obsessed with those prickly cockles too! Next week I find a hinged albino one! ❤️

    Oh, what a beautiful morning, to bum off Rodgers and Hammerstein. You sure are having a morning worth recording, Beach Angel! If it weren't for knowing that the weeks are flying by until I will be poking my toes into the same, albeit miles distant, body of water, I would be pea green with envy!
    It would seem that the sea is giving you a lovely example of all it has to offer! How blessed you are!
    I've got a couple of new shell books coming for my Valentine's Day birthday. I'm looking forward to them and am watching BBD's videos from Northwest Florida, brushing up on my target beaches' offerings so I'll be ready for my trip.
    What a pretty sea star! I just love them! On behalf of them all, thanks for putting them back in the sea. I hope that the people who take them from their home and then throw them in the trash can when they begin to smell all get really bad sunburns on their next beach trip!
    Wow! That eagle Ray's grinding plate is so cool! Never found one. I did find a sea turtle skull, though, and gave it to my niece along with my old shell collection. I can only hope she treasures it as much as I did, but you never know.
    I'm so glad you let me tag along today! I enjoyed it very much! My imaginary shell bag is full, too! Thanks for a great day! I'll have lovely dreams tonight, for sure!
    Much love and many shells,
    Becca, the Lost Mermaid

    • @SWFBeachLife

      A couple of new shells books? How exciting! I ordered one I'd really like to read but thus far I haven't cracked it open. I'll get to it eventually! And I found the most amazing thing yesterday on Sanibel - I can't wait to share! I hope you have an awesome week!

  • @bonnerdebbie
    @bonnerdebbie ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks Sharmon, awesome shelling day. I love the fact that you name all the shells you know and that is more than this girl who was raised in Florida and spent 20 years at the beach. In my defense, there is a lot more types of shells in SWF than in NEF. Take care, see you next week.

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  ปีที่แล้ว

If it was 60* here everyone would be walking around in shorts and T-Shirts talking about the gorgeous weather we are having! 😂 … Can you please show some more of the common, everyday shells you find?

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, public parking has been open on Marco for quite a while so you'll be find shelling down that way. Sanibel just opened up 2 beaches and I think technically FMB is still closed, but no one is paying that much mind and going to the beach anyway.

    We shell occasionally in South Alabama & find beautiful black scallops, among other colors. Many shades & patterns of colors & various grays, but also some very deep dark black - undamaged ones found mostly in quarter to half dollar size.

      I wonder if that is their natural color or if they are discolored from being buried in the sand 🤔

    Thank you for your videos! I was in Panama City Beach around New Years and found tons of tiny, tiny shells and many sand dollar doves. I was very surprised when one of my tinies turned out to be a Wentle Trap! It's only 1/4 of an inch long and perfect. Definitely a bucket list find for me.

    Another good shell day. Thank you for sharing. If the tide comes in and you can't get around the jetty is there another way out?

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  ปีที่แล้ว

      There is not! Which is why I am always paying attention to the tide when I'm there.

    Yes, being on the beach at daybreak is magical!😊 And, yes, leafy jewelboxes are on the west coast but I don't see them often. Got lucky and found a hinged one once. Love those little bright yellow pear whelks! Wentletrap! I got excited last week when I found one at the north end of Honeymoon but it was alive! I think that's the first time I've ever found a live one. Lol I just thinned out my calico scallops! They're so cool I end up picking up way too many. What a darling baby horse conch!❤️ I do believe the Gulf is more gentle in your videos than I experience here on an average. The top snails are definitely bigger down your way. Great finds and a beautiful day. What more can you ask for?😊 Thanks Sharmon! xxoo

    I'm new to your channel and so enjoy your hunting! I never knew that there are so many seashells on all the beaches in Florida! You have also taught me so much regarding the different shells and their names! I'll keep watching and thank you! Pittsburgh, PA
