    Hey Maddie. Any day on the beach is a great day! Happy you stayed safe with that storm coming in. And my favourite today was great little broken whelk shell because of the colour and the architecture of it. Thank you for going out shelling for us too!

      G'day Mary 👋🏻💖 Ain't that the truth! The bad weather is keeping me away from the beach right now; I feel like I'm missing out on a great day 🥲 Oh wow, I think you're the first one to mention that Spindle Whelk - even broken, I thought it was very interesting because it's my first time finding that one 😲 I find so few spindles; here architecture really is out of thr ordinary! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

    Hey Maddie 🙌🏻 that storm did creep up on you , looks like a big one 😮. Finding that Bird Cardita with a mini Pheasant inside was a sweet surprise ❤ But yes that zebra volute looked pretty perfect to me 🪸🪸🐚🐚🐚

      G'day Annie 👋🏻🏖️💖 It feels like every recent beach trip ends in a storm approaching 😂 but yesterday was a full 100mm of rainfall here at home 😲! As for the shells this time, it was certainly nice getting a Pheasant Shell surprise in the cardita 😂 but that Zebra Volute really should have been a favourite at the end; it's a really lovely little shell! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

    Hi Maddie, enjoyed your video with my coffee, as usual I love the cowries. I also want to say that I really appreciate when you find a live shell you make sure that you let the air out before you let it go. Keep up the great work.

      @ShellingAdventures  20 дней назад +1

      G'day Jeff 👋🏻☕❤️ Haha, I was drinking my own coffee while replying to you 😊 nothing fancy, just the organic base brand, but I like it! Anyhoo! Oh yes, I do let out those bubbles; I always cringe if I see someone put a crab back down with bubbles in its shell. When I've done hermit crab transfers, I've noticed that they will continuously spin the shell to make sure all air is released from the top most whorls of the shells 🐚🤔 and/or they won't transfer unless they're confident that the shell is empty of air. I know they can get air in the shells by being intertidal creatures, but no need to make things extra hard on them 🦀 Thank you for your kind words Jeff 🙏🏻 and thanks for watching 🥰

      G'day Leslie 👋🏻🏖️ Oh wow, I think you're the first one to mention to limpet and the Violet Sea Snail 🐌 they were lovely shells as well (those the Zebra Volute looks like the crowd favourite this time 🦓❤️)! Thank you so much for watching 🥰 Shell on!

      @ShellingAdventures  20 дней назад +2

      G'day Guadalupe 👋🏻💖 Hehe, actually, now that you mention it..?? I have been watching some of those hard candy creation videos 🍬 and the stripes on the Zebra Volute is reminiscent of them!! But what flavour would they be? Thank you so much for joining me on this adventure 🥰

    High Maddie 👋
    Beautiful adventure 😍
    Yes, the Voluta zebra Is beautiful, as well the Phalium bandatum. You got very lovely cowries 😍 with the uncommon Bistolida stolida and an E. Caputserpentis gem. Nice keepers too, the Hydatina physis and Dicathais orbita. Interesting to see alive Monoplex parthenopeus . Nice find is Monoplex exaratus 😍and Peristernia ustulata 😍 this one's are my favourite thought with holes 😃thank you Maddie 😍 what a beautiful moments spent with you and such rich gifts from the great Queensland 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👋 i can't wait to see next adventure

    • @ShellingAdventures
      @ShellingAdventures  16 дней назад +1

      G’day Francesco 👋🏻🐚 Phew, I’m glad that I got a few nice shells from this trip; it was looking like slim pickings for a while! I’m really happy with the Amoria zebra and the Caputseprentis’ though!! Hydatina physis is always a pleasure to see; actually, seeing the live Hydatina physis is a bigger pleasure… I might see one next time 😉! Oh wow, but the favourite is the Peristernia ustulata?? It’s my first time finding this shell 🐚 so it’s an extra special one, even with the hole 😅 Thank you for coming along on another Queensland shelling adventure 🥰

      G'day Di 👋🏻🏖️💖 The Zebra Volute is a super nice one 😲 I should have given it the favourite spot...ahh, regrets 😂!! The Cowries and Bubble were lovely additions to the day ❤️ it was nice to find them before the storm arrived! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

  • @craftsandcards
    @craftsandcards 21 день назад +2

    Hey Maddie.....I do agree the Cowries you chose for your favorites were lovely. I really liked the White Rock Shell and that Operculum was near perfect. Special mention to the Brown Lined Paper Bubble.....as always a very fun adventure ! Hugs and cheers from Ontario, Canada......Wanda

    • @ShellingAdventures
      @ShellingAdventures  18 дней назад +1

      G'day Wanda 👋🏻💖 Yesss Cowrie love for the win 🐚❤️ I must admit, I thought the White Rock Shell was especially nice with its spotting this time, and that Operculum was so nice too! Thanks for the special mention for the bubble shell...it's crazy to think that the shell can get worn down and mossy even when the little bubble is alive! It looks like a fresh shell otherwise. Aww thank you so much 💖 and thanks for watching 🥰

      G'day Donna 👋🏻💖 The Snake-heads are lovely sometimes...very common, but finding nice ones like these? It just makes me happy 😁! I will admit, those limpet are very interesting (I shouldn't overlook them as much as I do) I think I need to collect and show more of them! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

    @hbwhitetree 21 день назад +1

    G'day from land-locked Austria! I think our tastes must be very similar; I had noted my favorites while watching, and they coincided very nicely with your honorable mentions and favorites. The organ pipe coral is beautiful. The first operculum you showed was very pristine, with a great swirl. The zebra volute was probably my favorite today. I also liked the white rock shell; I guess I'm very attracted to drupe shells. Of course, I would never turn down a cowrie, cone, or bonnet. I enjoyed that you realized when building your display how many nice finds you had. Keep those wonderful videos coming; thanks so much for filming!

    • @ShellingAdventures
      @ShellingAdventures  11 дней назад +1

      G'day Jan!! I somehow didn't reply to this?? Let me try again ;D Hehe, I think that we both have good eyes for shells; some just have that special little attribute that makes them more interesting and noteworthy to us! That pristine Operculum really did stand out with that clean spiral!! Ohh and I'm glad you liked the Organ Pipe Coral too, it's a rare little thing, but its somehow been washing up a little more often lately?? Ahhh and the Zebra Volute comes out on top - it really was a nice one! As for the drupe shell; it really did have a good form and pattern on it; it was also eye-catching!! Hehehe yep, the display takes me by surprise every time, even the smaller ones like this. Once again, I am so sorry for the slow reply (slower than usual!) and thank you so much for watching!

    @FloridaBeachWalks 16 дней назад +1

    I love the rock pools you are able to shell in-such a pretty overview of the rock beach too ❤️ Wow, I don’t think I have ever seen a hermit in a cone myself 🤔 Your “smaller” banded bonnet is like the max size of ours 🤣 LOVE the zebra volute 😍🐚 Great cowries as always ❤️ wow that live giant hairy!!!!!! 😍😍 Beautiful bubble-from what I read we can get the lined ones like that in Florida too-never even seen a piece though. Such a cute shell display!!

    • @ShellingAdventures
      @ShellingAdventures  12 дней назад +1

      G'day Roxann 👋🏻🏖️ The rock pools are exciting; every day is like a scavenger hunt around the hidden nooks of the tide pool! Cone shells and crabs; I wonder if your Alphabet Cones will one day be occupied with crabs? I think it's not many crabs first choice of shell 🐚🦀 it's a bit of an odd shape for them. Ohh, and you liked the "small" bonnet as well 🤩 And the bubble shell, you can actually find them in Florida supposedly?? My goodness, I thought they were only an Indo-Pacific shell! Huh, I wonder if they prefer a certain environment?? I'm sure you'll find one someday if you keep looking long enough 😁 Thank you so much for watching 🥰

      G'day Danielle 👋🏻🏖️ Oh my gosh, they've been so bad!! Yesterday was a solid day or rain 🥲 I gotta say, I'm glad I'm not doing three videos a week this year...I wouldn't be able to do it with the wet weather now, and the wet weather at the start of the year! It's been a long time since we've had wet seasons like this ☺️ Thank you so much for watching 🥰

      @ShellingAdventures  18 дней назад +1

      G'day Ghost Links 👋🏻🐚 Ohh I'm glad I hung onto the pottery piece then; it's not something I see outside of the odd mudlarking video from the UK (not that I usually watch those videos, but I browsed them once upon a time). Hmmm, I wonder if it's not common because people are more considerate with their recycling or rubbish these days? Not sure, but I'm going to try to look at the positive side of things!! Thank you so much for watching 🥰

      G'day Pam 👋🏻💖 It was nice to see so many live shells out and about at this time 😲 I'm going out shelling at night tonight, so maybe I will see even more than this??? Or maybe I'll fall over or decide that the shore is more interesting 😂 Ohhh the red organ pipe coral is really pretty!! I have maybe 2 or 3 small pieces now, and one of them looks perfect for a necklace. I think of I coated it in some kind of resin first, then it would durable enough to wear?? Never tried resin though. Ahh that storm actually turned into about a week of overcast and rainy days...I miss my beach days 🥲 but it's been nice to catch up on stuff at home. Hope you and the growing family are doing well over there 😊 and thank you so much for watching 🥰
