Today was another wonderful day. While in Pensacola, Florida for business, I made my way to the beach. I have traveled to this stretch of white sandy beaches a few times in my life and always manage to find a tremendous variety of tiny shells. This trip offered more than I have ever seen. I'm still not entirely sure why this area of the Florida panhandle produces these tiny shells. (Must try to do some research on that question.)
But this trip, and my walk early this morning, did nSpire another question. Would most people, walking this same stretch of sugar white sand, stop to notice these tiny miracles of nature? My two pictures for today will hopefully give you a reason to pause if you are ever in this area, or any other area where beauty is all around you, but not out in the open like the nose on your face. I like to think these tiny shells are a "God Thing" . . . so I ask you
. . . Would you notice?

| Tiny Treasures Revealed! |
The first picture is a random clump of "something" washed up on the shore with the waves. The second picture reveals the tiny treasures that made up that clump and many others just like it, along the parcel of beach I visited. (To demonstrate the scale, notice the
sea oat next to the shells. It measured 3/4 inch by 7/16 inch at its widest point) Absolutely nCredible, don't you think?
