The November full moon was setting when I left the Marina with four hard core veteran shellers. The wind was blowing 25 to 30 mph out of the northeast. We traveled to secret spot number four and hit the low tide perfect. Nancy found a beautiful alphabet cone. The olives were all over the place, most of them were alive. You could see the tracks of the olives at the tide line. Many miniatures were collected. (The sanibel sisters would have had a heyday) The wind was still strong as we pulled the anchor and went to another spot farther up the beach. The wind was so strong most of the shells were covered with sand. Gary always manages to find something unique. On this trip he found a nice kings crown. I always look forward to taking out this hardy group of shellers. This trip they were extremely hardy dealing with the wind and watching Captian Brian trying to make the anchor hold.

What a moon through the palm trees. I went out to get some pics of the full moon & the clouds rolled in. Love the rosette feather. They are one of my favorite birds. I recently made the hubby do a U-ey on the Sunshine Skyway to look at a spoonbill.
Great pics, as always. Still wishing we were there!! Hubby is hinting at a condo rental for me...... Only time will tell!!
(Wish blogger would let me get the pictures bigger. Something must have changed because they don't do that anymore.....)
Love the "pretzel"!! Thanks for Sharing Capt. Brian Great Pics!! (As usual)
Welcome back to cyber world - I missed you! Thanks for my shell fix.
Cat: If I single click on Brian's pictures they open up larger in a new screen. Plus there is a band across the bottom of the screen showing all the pictures from this post.
Kim - tried that. I do get the pic, plus the strip on the bottom, but the just don't get super sized anymore.
