Ken Smith, of Reading, Massachusetts, found a junonia on Feb. 14 at noontime at Blind Pass Beach on Sanibel. He was standing a few feet into the surf, with other people around, when it rolled up to his foot. “I have heard that you can’t find junonia shells, they have to find you, and that is what happened to me,” Smith said. “It was really fun after 10 years of looking to actually find one.” He and his wife, Mary, have been coming to Sanibel for 10 years and they look for shells all the time to share with their grandchildren. “Naturally, being Valentine’s Day, I gave the shell to my beautiful wife,” Smith added.
