The first day of July was a beautiful one!
(I've had people tell me they see Maxine in these clouds, Coyote and RoadRunner, I see a large baby laying at the bottom looking up.)
In the afternoon, a friend of mine saw hundreds of
live Florida Fighting Conchs that had been washed up in the tide.

This is an albino one. If it were not a live one, it would be a nice find. After cleaning the periostracum, (the flaky leathery covering that you find on most live seashells), it would be milky white all over. A couple of my friends have one of these, they are very pretty.
I've seen a lot of Fighting Conchs on the beach before, but nothing like this.
I do remember reading in the news, a couple of years ago this same type of thing happened on Bonita Beach.
The same friend, shared this photo of the sunset they saw on a West Gulf Beach yesterday evening.
Thanks friend! :)

The first day of July looks like a lovely one on the island.
I remember all the live conchs beaching on Bonita. It may have been just last year. I wasn't there but read about it on several blogs.
Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us.
WOW on the conchs. That is simply amazing.
