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.
