Mississippi Girls

Mississippi Girls

Five adventurous “Mississippi Girls” went exploring with me to a couple of secret spots and a new spot. The shelling was good and the finds of the day were a huge winged oyster, a piece of a lion’s paw, a piece of junonia, sand dollars, a large piece of coral and a beautiful sea whip. These ladies were a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. I look forward to our next outing.
P.S. Things are booking up for February and March  if you are thinking of going out in those months you may want to plan ahead.
