Abalone shells are one of my favorite shells, and a treasured find for many shell collectors. But did you know that some species are endangered due to loss of their main food source?

**ALWAYS practice ethical shelling, and be aware of the laws in your area.

I won tickets to see a Jimmy Buffett cover band ‘Buffett Beach’, at The Canyon Club last week. Being Buffett fans for decades (and missing him dearly!), we were happy to hear some live Buffett tunes again! The show was not all JB songs, but the majority were, and a few of our faves were in the mix. I recently saw that Buffett Beach will be playing at one of our local ‘Concerts in the Park’ over the summer… we will be sure to make the show!
Thanks to @99.9 KTYD for the tix!
