I'm so glad I can "transport" you to the place you love. I know not everyone has the opportunity to come here to SWFL so I'm glad I can share the amazing things I get to see while I'm out exploring. Thank you so much for the note and thank you very much for coming along with me!

Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful shell trips you take I really appreciate it saying I haven't been having knee surgery and problems with my knee and watching your videos at the beach and stuff really helps me get through the days thank you so much

I found a red true tulip like that up on St Pete's beach by tampa. I thought there would be no shells but there were lots! My red tulip is maybe an inch and a half? i was so happy!

Awesome! Congrats on your true tulip! I have a very hard time finding them so I was really happy with mine too!

WOW, it was definitely banded tulip day. And those colorful moonsnails! I don't think I've ever seen any that deep and rich.

Oh my goodness! So many, many BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING shells! Thank you! I have never seen some of these. I've never found, what my mom always called them, sand dollars.
