Hello Folks,                                                                               November 14, 2008

This morning in Southwest Florida was another beautiful morning to walk the beach. The tide this morning was at it's lowest since about 6+ months ago. The gulf was calm and the marine life was quite plentiful along the beach.

Although the Shelling wasn't great, but that was expected. We won't have any "good" shelling until anothe storm comes ashore. We don;t have to have a hurricane or tropic storm to wash up fresh shells, but just a strong winter storm that has strong winds. It is the winds that stir up the gulf's floor and pushes the shells up on the beach.

Here are some of the critters I came across today......

This first picture is of a Starfish which I've never seen along the beaches before. I actually saw this one and one other while walking the beach. This little guy was a fast mover too. I'm use to the typical starfish which moves at the pace of a slug, but this guy was very fast.

The below picture is of a live "Banded Tulip" which was moving through the sand looking for the Gulf Waters which had receeded in the low tide.

That starfish is absolutely gorgeous. Maybe I've asked this before, but have you considered putting your pictures in an eBook? It's on my mind for my plant pictures. I just haven't found the right eBook program that is easy to use yet.

Great photos Sean, Thanks for sharing. The abundant marine life and walks along the shoreline are one of the things that I do miss about FL...
