Shell hunting

Another hot and sunny day here. Rained last Monday and sprinkled Tuesday. Has been wonderful Florida weather ever since. On Thursday we went to a beach at Fort De Soto Park. It's near St.Petersburg , about 2 hours from here. Crossed over Tampa Bay, where it joins the Gulf of Mexico , on a fabulous bridge. Took some pictures , also seen a paddlewheeler boat out on the bay. Eileen thought it was a tour boat of some kind. Lovely sandy beach and not many people on it a 9 in the morning. Collected lots of sand dollars and a few other pretty shells. Now the trick is to get them home intact. We are off to the library today. So nice to sit around and read in the warmth. I am just bone idle and loving every day of it.

that sounds like a nice place to go. weren't you scared on the bridge? i hate bridges. i forgot about sand dollars. we used to collect those as kids. what the heck are they anyhow and do they only have them in florida?
