Fort Desoto is one of my favorite places in Pinellas County. I have always found wonderful shells there.
I love the photos of the sea urchin and the horseshoe crab.

Looks like a beach I'd love to see. I love sand dollars and collect them when we go to Ocean Isle Beach in NC each May.

Hope you two are doing GREAT.
