Just the amount of shells and creatures to experience!!! What a beautiful haul you were able to bring home!!! I could watch for hours and not get bored!!

    3 years ago, I won a trip to Florida (I'm French) and due to the sanitary situation, the borders have closed a week before our trip, which has been postponed 4 times since then. I've been watching your videos since we first got locked down, and I was both hopefull to get there one day and scared that we might not make it. Today, we got the passeport that we were waiting for for 3 months, and we will finally visit Sanibel island in a few weeks !!! Thanks to you, I'm much better prepared to identify all the beach treasures we will come across ;)

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  2 года назад +2

    I love to go shelling with you! Thanks so much for taking me along! For just a little while, I can travel back to my home and walk along the beach with you.
    Been in the hospital so I've been silent for a good while. Hoping that's all behind me now.
    Thanks for the compassion and respect you give to animals who are stranded and putting them back where they belong. It's cool to see how they. Look while they're living in the shells we love. Sometimes, I think it's easy to forget that our treasures were once some animal's home. I have always been mindful of that fact and I'm glad you are, too.
    Thanks so much for your great videos. I've enjoyed them immensely.

    Hey Charmon (hope I spelled that correctly, if not I apologize). My wife Christina and I (we are big fans) are literally going there tomorrow morning to kayak out to Dickmans. It will be our final big beach day before heading back up north. Just wanted to say we love your videos, content, and production, and always look forward to watching. Even tonight as we sit in our hotel room on sanibel lol. You have taught both of us so very much about this wonderful area of southwest Florida, and the critters that inhabit the waters. Thank you so very much! Continue the good work, and happy shelling

    as somebody who lives as far away from the scene of the video and still be in the lower 48, I want to thank you for what you do. One of these beach walks would be on my bucket list but there's no chance I'll ever make it so your videos provide a great virtual experience for me. Thank you so much. Sometimes I just mute and enjoy without sound, but sometimes it's great to learn all the identification information.
    There's nothing like it on our West Coast beaches, but we do have sea glass and agates for some compensation.

    What a great haul of gorgeous shells. I really LOVE the huge Shark Eye and the Banded Tulip. But to be honest: I love them all. I would be over the moon if I just found one of the shells you found that day.
    And all those live Horse Conches. Think I've never seen so many alive in one of your video's.
    Thank you so much for taking us with you, I enjoyed every minute of it.

    Thank you so much for the videos. I just found you on RUclips. I could watch you all day. I love the beach. We have family that are in Myrtle Beach. We don’t get to go very often cause we are in western NC. So I love spending time on the beach with you.

    What an awesome shell day you had!! I am in complete awe of your gorgeous shell haul! I loved all the critters too but my favorite was watching the lettered olive dig into the sand. So cool!

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  2 года назад +1

      Aren't they wild to see moving around like that? They seem to move similar to the moon snails. I just love seeing the live creatures AND so many fabulous shells!

    • @kimberleykimsmithstaff1758
      @kimberleykimsmithstaff1758 2 года назад

      Yes, I’m so fascinated with all the creatures too. I also loved the big question mark the one olive made. For the most part, I can now name the shells as you pick them up. My new Sunday evening game is to pick out which will be your favorites in the show and tell at the end. And oh, what choices you had this week!!

    WOW!!! What an exciting walk!! One of the Spiny Jewelbox that you kept looked like a hedgehog. I think if I remember correctly was one of the last one you kept but it was a single one. Thought that was cute. I couldn't believe all the live big shells you were finding!! You did awesomely on this walk!!
    Thanks for the beautiful great walk!! I totally wish I was there with you!! Have a great week!! 😊🐬

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  2 года назад

      I know exactly the jewel box you're referring to. I just love when they are all spikey! It was such a fun day between all the great shells and all the amazing creatures. I wish every beach day could be like this!

    @9:00, Be still my heart! I Love the Giant Atlantic Cockles! This one is gorgeous: beautiful color, fantastic texture, big and just a beautiful shape. I love the Cockles and Scallops. Actually I love highly textured shells (oh, who am I kidding, I Love them all). Back to the vid, Thanks Sharmon 😊

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  2 года назад

      That's me! I can't pick a favorite shell. There's too many things to admire about so many of them!

    Looks like so much fun! I love “tinies”, those tiny shells to use for decorative purposes, like those shell jewelry boxes.

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  2 года назад +1

      I went shelling on Saturday (not to make a video - just for fun) and I really had a great time looking for tinies. I'll be sure to feature them one of these days in an upcoming video!

    That island had a lot of horse conchs and all live. That is amazing to see! Aw bummers, that was a big lightning welk but occupied by a hermit crab. Nice to see the critters. A lot of good shells you found there. Great video.

    Holy moly! This was a shell lovers dream come true! I would have soooo much fun doing this shell trip too! There were unbelievably fantastic shells everywhere! ( : Soooo much fun! Thank you sooo much! ( : OMGGGGG!! Your haul and your tour guides shell hauls were both insanely awesome! ( : Thank you sooo much for sharing such an amazing day!

    Loved this beach day! I had to smile at the keyhole limpet. We have thousands of those on the beaches in western Washington. Just took them for granted.

    • @SWFBeachLife
      @SWFBeachLife  2 года назад

      I definitely think the allure of shells are the ones that are harder to find. I could faint if I saw a beach with thousands of limpets!
