Shelling LIDO under RAINBOWS - Conchs, Olives, Whelks & MORE!

#shelling #lidokey #rainbow #floridabeach

Shelling at Lido Key under a full arch RAINBOW was just magical! Afternoon thunderstorms kept us off the beach and drove us off the beach - but for that short period of time between them, we had a FANTASTIC shelling trip, a stunning sunset, and some Radical rainbows with a double for a brief time! Lightning Whelk, Fighting Conchs, Lettered Olives, and even an Alphabet cone - what fun! Stay tuned after the shelling for a great haul and ID session, too!
