A few keepers




January 7, 2016


A few more keepers - I only keep a few of the many shells I find and give the rest away. In fact, did a little spring cleaning today early and dropped off 14 bags of shells at a local daycare. Won''t they be surprised when they come Monday morning :D !!


Sand Dollars
There all were sticking out of the dunes - amazing how they survive as they are so fragile


Sweet dreams y'all
