We're packing a picnic lunch, beach chairs and beach umbrella. A short drive south from here, we're planning a road trip to Sanibel Island, Florida. A barrier island, it is a place of gorgeous beaches. I will, of course, be taking my camera along, hoping for photos of wildlife. I will be looking for birds common in the area, such as the Roseate Spoonbill (can be seen on my sidebar). Sanibel Island is world renowned for its shells. Folks all along the beaches can be seen carrying bags nets and buckets used for collecting rare and unusual shells. They can be spotted doing the "Sanibel Stoop" as they walk in that continuous bent over position. I, very soon, will be one of them......
