The beach at Cumberland Island was teemed with Ghost Crabs scurrying about. They're almost invisible to the naked eye except for the huge eyes they have. I almost stepped on this little guy whose only about 4in. across. It looks as though it has sunglasses on doesn't it? LOL.

Eileen, he looks like he belongs on "Spongebob Squarepants." Yes, I have some grandchildren. I think or maybe it's the berries. Great capture of this little guy. He does blend with sand so well. Another example of God's and Mother Nature's plan. Great post.

I'm so glad you spotted him, and I bet he is too!! What an unusual looking crab, and you're absolutely right about the sunglasses effect!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

LOL! he has such a comical face! super capture Eileen! I thought he must have been in a tank but now I have read your narrative and they are running around the beach - so unusual - glad you didn't stand on him! It would have been painful for you and even more for him! ;)

THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
