Treasures !

It was chilly chilly on the beach this morning but Mom rugged up like a polar bear and off we went to do a bit of beachcombing. The wind was howling and blowing sand this way and that and we didn't hold out much hope of finding anything but guess what - there was treasures! We found a couple of nice big prickly scallop shells, some small fighting conches, moon shells, a lettered olive shell and a skate egg case (skates look like a kind of sting ray). Mom was happy and we were happy because we got to go for a long walkies :) Remember you can click on the photo's to see them bigger.

  3. Dear Reilly and Denny,

    Any day on the Beach is a good day! (Unless the wind is blowing up places it should not blow on any respectable dog.) That is amazing that your person knows how to name most of those shells! She is very clever! I would just chew on them.

    Licks,

  7. What are you going to do with the shells. At a craft show we saw the most delicate tiny angel make from shells. We have a miniature cactus growing in a large shell, it made a nice pot. I envy your beach excursions.
    Thanks for being a friend

  8. Happy Friday, WE love shells and you've got quite a collection there. Now I've learned the names of some like the Moon shells. The one you have a question about looks like a long neck calm shell to me. How fun to be able, even in the cold, to go for walks along the beach. Hunter has never been to the ocean and I don't know how he'd react. Have a great weekend.

  19. Wow ...... your Mom scored big time, aye?? My Mum found one of those things you call a moon shell yesterday. It was blue. Crikey it was pretty. She also found a baby turtle shell. It's hatching time. Only problem was it was only half a shell. It had teeth marks. Wonder what got it. Poor wee little thing.

  24. You could do a nose work exercise with the shell game and hide something under one of them and have to find it.
