Another beautiful fall day on the Gulf of Mexico!

Here's my morning haul. Went out again in the afternoon and got more... someone on Facebook coined the word: SHELLMANIA! LOL!!!





MORE PICS...













What the world needs not, is love, sweet love...

"Freely you have received, freely give"

The morning was quite chilly but things warmed up by noon.

The highlight of the day was giving away shells to a couple who I saw on the beach. The woman had a cane and could barely walk but was determined to collect some sand in a cup to take home. Her patient husband helped her as they returned to their car where I met them with a bag of shells. When I saw the joy on her face, I quickly grabbed another bag to give before they drove off. They both were overwhelmed - this made my day!
"Freely you have received, freely give."

So no shell photos today but here are a few others...

Shell Washing Night

Today I gave 4 bags of shells to a co-worker who has 4 children, so had to get more shells ready for the next recipients!





Beautiful clear, warm and breezy day


Good night...

Shelling Between Rain Showers

The sun hardly came out all day but that didn't stop this sheller!



It was actually quite pleasant after the rain stopped


This guy thought I was throwing food for him when I was tossing out unwanted shells LOL


Bumble Bees and Butterflies at my patio






Not many at the beach today


That's about it for our sunset...

Lately after work, been walking to one spot which had lots of shells and tonight was no exception...



And the bonus was seeing another lovely Florida panhandle sunset too!
