A bit of Sanibel Island beach bling.

Sanibel Island is famous for shells. You will find hundreds of different treasures every time you walk the beaches. Above is an abalone shell. The vivid purple and blue colors really stand out against the white sugar sand.

Shells aren’t the only thing you will find. You may run into coconut husks and mangrove saplings.

Or other kinds of shells like this scallop shell. You will also find washed up remnants of seaweed and grasses.

Every walk is a little different. I hope you enjoyed this collection.

Friday is Purple on Daily Colors. These photographs were taken when Lloyd and Melannie walked Sanibel Beach in October of 2019.
