Merry Christmas from the Islands! The shells in the photos were all self collected in the last 17 years from my favorite beach. I am thankful to walk on this beach as much as I do. Every day is a gift. May your days be filled with low tides and blue skies. I thought I would share a quote from a lady who used to explore the beaches of Captiva.
I think of this quote often, as I walk my favorite beach.
"The waves echo behind me. Patience- Faith -Openness...
is what the sea has to teach.
Simplicity - Solitude - Intermittency ...
But there are other beaches to explore.
There are more shells to find.
This is only the beginning."
-Ann Morrow Lindbergh.

Good luck in the Glades, Brian. I still think of the story you told us of finding all of those alphabet cones down there! Our trip with you this past July is one of my family's favorite memories of the year. BTW, my football team went 6-6 this year. We lost in the sectional championship. Take Care.
