I am at Sanibel Island this week with the whole family for once. The water is VERY warm,like tepid bath water. So is the pool.The days are incredibly hot,the shells are still here but in limited numbers,and we are having a great time. We are being more selective with the shells we collect this time. At least we are trying to. They are all so beautiful and such great treasures that it's hard not to take them,even when you know you have better specimuns at home.
This afternoon late we were in the water for a long time. There is a sandbar a long ways out in the water and we went there to find lots of sand dollars. There were some really gig ones, but they were all alive so we did not take any. They are pretty smelly when drying,plus it is against regulations to take live shells. There were some dinner plate size 8 armed star fish. We put them on our heads like fancy hats and paraded around for a while. Then pitched them back in
