I had never saw a live Starfish until this trip. And God blessed me with getting to see hundreds of them. They were everywhere. People were throwing them back in the ocean so they wouldn’t die.

I was on Ft. Myers beach one year, when hundreds of starfish washed up. I was busy throwing many of them back in when a local came up to me and started yelling at me about killing them. She had only seen me pick one up…I explained that I was trying to save them by putting them back in the water. She still criticized my efforts by saying, “Well it doesn’t matter because you can’t save all of them.” I threw the one in my hand gently into the water and walking away said, “I’ll bet it matters to him.”

Wow Jolene, getting to see not one but hundreds for the first time is remarkable 👍😄, it’s also interesting that they seem to be the same color as the sand.
