A cream and tan Florida wentletrap sea seashell. Fresh out of the Gulf of Mexico. Displayed between a thumb and forefinger.

I hunted for days on my last trip to Cayo Costa, for a wentletrap, the day before I was to leave, I finally found one. I sat down on a little mound of shells to rest. I looked down and there it was.

Early morning on Cayo Costa State Park Island, North of Captiva, Florida 2017

Day dawns over
an azure green sea
small waves of white foam
