The World Largest Seashell Collection

I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world... perhaps you've seen it.

Hi my friends,

What a wonderful day at the beach, isn't it? You're invited all to come, there are still enough open spaces. And bring your umbrella, enough water and the sun protection creme with you .... it's hot today! :))

I wish you a happy Wednesday. For some personal reasons I will not be online and there will be NO "Wordless Sunday" post this time, sorry. Will be back some when next week.

Have a good time!

Susanne

The Circle of Ideas....

Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible.

Hi my friends,

I can hardly believe that's Friday again - this week was flying by so fast - for me!

I wish you all a happy Friday and enjoy your coming weekend.

It's getting pretty warm down here - it's spring time already in Florida.

Thanks for all your kind comments and compliments to my last post!

Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge

We took a trip to Pelican Island, Sebastian, FL

Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge 

is a United States National Wildlife Refuge located just off the western coast of Orchid Island in the Indian River Lagoon east of Sebastian, Florida. The refuge consists of a 3-acre (12,000 m²) island that includes an additional 2.5 acres (10,000 m²) of surrounding water and is located off the east coast of Florida of the Indian River Lagoon. Established by an executive order of President Theodore Roosevelt on March 14, 1903, Pelican Island was the first national wildlife refuge in the United States. It was created to protect egrets and other birds from extinction by plume hunters.

Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge holds hundreds of species of animals including birds, fish, plants, and mammals. The wetlands of Pelican Island are a major ecological system supporting the huge biological diversity. Fifteen federally listed threatened and endangered species live in Pelican Island NWR and around Indian River Lagoon. Of the endangered species, West Indian Manatees and sea turtles occupy parts of the lagoon. Around the lagoon in the refuge are two Wood Stork refuges. These birds along with other wading birds that nest on the island thrive on the tremendous fish population. Pelican Island is home to many nesting birds including Brown Pelicans, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, Reddish Egrets, Great Blue Heron, Little Blue Heron, Tricolored Heron, Black-crowned Night Heron, American White Ibis, Glossy Ibis, Double-crested Cormorant, Anhinga, and American Oystercatcher.
