A Few Sea Shells and a Mermaids Lei that got washed off her after a Big Storm, Sunset Beach, FL

After a Big storm I love to go walk the beach. Many interesting things wash up after a really good winter storm. All sorts of interesting shells and other stuff are found on the beach. Those Gorgeous Amber Pen Shells with their golden color, especially radiant in the light of Sunset are my absolute favorite post storm shells.  I have even read stories of pieces of old shipwrecks washing up. If only I were so Lucky…

One of my favorite post storm stories is where these interesting plants that almost look like a natural Lei, you know the Type that Hawaiians and Mermaids would wear, wash up on shore. You can see the “J” shaped piece above in the photo. I can imagine some poor Mermaid weathering the storm out in her favorite Coral Reef Home and the currents washing her hair too and fro. The Lei being torn from her neck and washing up on shore…
