This is a quick photo of the beach right under our feet!
Photos taken at “Cape Canaveral National Seashore”
And here are some of the amazing shells we found!
Angel wings, Lettered Olives, scallops, more shells than I can identify and one beautiful piece of blue sea glass! The edges beaten by the sea and the color frosted by the sand and salt!
My MOST amazing find of the day?
This Giant Atlantic Cockle!!!
Right in the edge of the ocean with the waves splashing over it, I saw this cockle with the hinge still intact! I GASPED! (one of many gasps of the day! heehee!)
My smallest? Look in the very center of the photo!
A tiny Calico!
I hope your day is filled with joy!

I'm so jealous! I want to pick up seashells by the sea shore.

I didn't realize there were seashells on the atlantic side...in Cape Canaveral! I thought only the Gulf Coast had shells. These are beautiful!!!
Hi,
Looks like you hit the jackpot with those shells! Wow, you found great ones! My sister and I used to spend hours combing the beaches in Florida for shells. I have some crystal containers of shells that I found in Florida through the years. I brought them with me to the Northwest and have them out in my home. Love them! Have a beautiful Sunday! xoxo Kim
Sooo gorgeous!!! Nothing even remotely close down here along Miami beach, nada!
Lovely collection of seashells. What a great day at the beach. Wonderful photos and mosaic.
these are beautiful,, how lucky you are,, lovely
Such cool seashells! I love that one with the leopard looking print! Terrific mosaics.
Lucky girl. I was just at Jetty Park today with my daughter, grandaughter and son-in-law and I told her this beach feels fake. Not one shell to be seen. And the sand felt like it was trucked in. Not like the sand at Playalinda beach. You've got some nice shells there. :)~Ames
It's been a while since I've been able to walk on a beach and collect sea shells. You really found some beauties!
Beautiful seashells. I love to decorate the house with them. Jersey Shore beaches have shells too, but never as interesting as the Florida beaches.
Beautiful shells and a walk on the beach! Love to decorate with shells. Makes the home feel sooooo summery and beachy!
Blessings!!
Omigosh how WONDERFUL!!! I LOVE to collect shells when I'm at the beach, and these are so much more beautiful than the ones I find in NJ... :)
When I lived on Galveston Island, I loved to go to the beach when no one was around (it can be done) and look for shells. Wonderful memories. I enjoyed your mosaic very much.
So pretty! I just love shells. We were on South Padre Island, but there weren't that many shells like you find in Florida. I guess it has to do with currents.
Oh so pretty. Thanks for sharing. Karie
Does the beach photo remind you of granite? It looks like something I want on my countertop.:D
I would've gasped to find any of these little delights. Each one is so pretty and special.
Diane, my first attempt of a (beachy) fashion shot is posted on my Facebook Page -here!
Wonderful shells, Diane. I really love that spotted crab shell...that is sooo pretty! Jeff and I are coming down to Florida on July 1-10 for our vacation this year and I can't wait. I'm going to be doing some shell hunting of my own! :o)
XOXO,
Cyndi
So much fun collecting them. What was that leopard looking one in your last photo?
Lovely shells and so many of them that are different, we have this shell store at the beach and I am always strolling through it to pick up little goodies...:)
You collected many colourful and beautiful shells. Sounds like the perfect day. Take care and have a fabulous week:)
I really loved all of your photos today. I am curious. Do you live near the Cape? My daddy was one of the first engineers sent to Patrick Air Force Base to reactivate it after having been close at the end of WWII. We lived on base at the very beginning of the missile era. They would go right by our house on the way up to the cape. We lived right across the road from where the generals all lived.
WooHoo! You did find some really nice shells and I love that piece of sea glass, great color!
I see one of your Olives has the top missing, I always look for those, they are perfect for putting on a piece of jute. You know I use those on the hangers for my driftshell hearts, I LOVE olives!
Wonderful finds on a wonderful day with the one you love, honey, it doesn't get much better than that!!
Hugs
Oh, don't forget, my World Oceans D ay party is on Wednesday, I can't believe it's almost here! Hope to see you there my dear!
That definately makes me want to take a vacation near the ocean and collect some sea shells..Yours are truly awesome :)
I love beach combing, and you really found some beauties!
I love shelling and here I am in landlocked Missouri! Thanks for sharing your delightful mosaic for those of us who aren't near a beach!
Oh you found some lovelies! That angel wing is gorgeous! The tiny calico is just precious! I found a few tiny calicos this weekend, and thought of you with each calico scallop I found ;) I thought of Shellbelle with every "drift shell" I found!
You found some neat shells, and a starfish, too!!! Love this post Diane!
XOXO
Isn't it fun when you find a treasure washed up in the surf?! I always enjoy finding an intact starfish, it's a rare treat :-)
Love those seashells. How lucky you are to go to the beach and find them. ;-)
wow! great finds and collection too. very nice mosaic and pictures.
Oh these are such amazing finds! All of the shells are so pretty.
The seashells are beautiful and it's fun to learn the names of each type!!! Thanks for the stroll on the beach!!!
those shells are lovely...what a collection. and sea glass too...I am jealous
Hi there,
Just gorgeous. I am really into shells right now. These are so beautiful.
Barb
I love walking the beaches and finding shells. You certainly found some great treasures to display in your mosaic.
Angel wings -- wow!! and that leopard spotted shell is gorgeous. I'm so envious! and glad that you're sharing the fun.
Oh my gosh! I love them all but especialy the one like kinda looks like a giraffe..
You're going to laugh...I know you are. I didn't think about shells having names. In Louisiana (northern), you just don't come in contact with shells.How neat!
Wow! Amazing collection of shells! Makes me wish I was out shell collecting on a beach right now. sigh!
Oh...you found so many pretty shells. I was out walking in the dry river bed the other day and I found some tiny white shells...I don't know what the are...but they are so pretty...and we are over 50 miles from a beach!
I love your sea shell mosaics, Diane!

I always enjoy the great photos on your blog and I sure wish I was closer so I could collect some of those beautiful shell to use in my projects. They are just awesome. I may have to work a barter with you. Hum.... give you any ideas. Like maybe a mouse or two. heheh.
Oh, gosh..you are blessed to live where you can pick up these natural treasures. So so pretty.
Have a good day.

Just lovely!
Some of my favourite treasures from traveling years back are the sea shells I picked up on various beaches. Memories indeed!
