March Moments

I realize I haven't posted since last Nov., so once again I'm playing a bit of catch-up with my sharing. I was out of state mid-Nov. through late Jan., have very few photos from Feb., so I'm jumping to March . . .


Sunrise on March 2nd . . . I didn't find hardly a thing but a pretty sunrise on this visit! It was chilly and pretty windy.


Well, I did find this nice whelk piece.



Sunrise and a lot of beach birds at low tide, March 14th . . .


A cannonball jellyfish, one of many that washed ashore due to a "bloom".


A shark eye ~ along with my other "usual" shell finds, they're becoming much less common finds.


Two calico scallops, found close to each other.


Barnacle cluster


Now this is a rare find ~ an imperial venus clam.


An angelwing, one of four types found in Florida. I find three of the four; have never found a fallen-angelwing.


I couldn't help but smile at this frisbee, even if it is beach trash.


Heading back north to my car, following a frothy trail of sea foam.



March 26th almost sunrise . . .


Following a trail of beached cannonball jellyfish . . .


Another heart-shaped shell piece for my collection . . . harder to find than you'd think!


Sunrise . . .


I always enjoy finding a lightning venus clam shell, not only because they're fairly uncommon but I really like their design.


Another calico scallop . . .


I do still find whelk "curly cue" pieces fairly often.



A lone willet and pretty sand waves.



A false angelwing, much smaller than the angelwing.


The bald eagle is back this spring . . . this is the fourth year I've seen him/her at this post, on the Intracoastal Waterway side of the bridge over the inlet.



A nice piece of clear sea glass . . . common color but always a thrill to find.


Another curly-cue whelk piece, a nice larger one.
