Mary and I took a delightful excursion to Morris Island in Charleston Harbor.
Here are all of our 'treasures'!
Because of the tides and this natural rock barrier, the beach is covered with treasures! You can see how clean the sand looks on the other side of the rocks. On our side it was crunchy with shells!
We found lots of shells and several shark's teeth.
I can't honestly say that these are the ones we found. Ours were much smaller but other people found big ones. Our guide could identify which type of shark they came from.
The biggest one we found was from a Dusky Shark. No we didn't take this photo either! Google is a wonderful thing!
We did see this baby shark playing very, very close to the shore....where some in our group had just been wading! The guide said not to worry that this one was too small to be dangerous.
On the way out to the island we enjoyed the antics of lots of dolphins and pelicans! Those speedy guys are hard to photograph! I am amazed that I managed to get both in one photo!
This time I managed to get a picture with a little more dolphin!
And our shark's teeth! Plus a little piece of moon snail - a predatory fellow who secretes a chemical that makes a hole in another shell so that he can suck out his dinner.
