The 75th Annual Sanibel Stoop Scoop, 2012

The beaches of Sanibel and Captiva Islands off Florida’s west coast are sometimes so covered with the exoskeletons of mollusks that one can barely walk for the crunch and slide. The invertebrates are quite capable of cutting the bottom of one’s feet. The beaches are also covered with dozens of shell collectors, bent at the waist, hands sweeping the sand, their buckets or empty plastic piña colada cups spilling over, insensible to the sun setting gloriously behind them over the Gulf of Mexico.
