I told you we would find these fellows on the beach, called Ghost Crabs.

We followed this fellow up and down the beach, they sure can move quickly, but he decided to stop long enough to get real close to take his picture. Oh yes, he did give me permission to post it after I showed it to him, lol.

Hope you are keeping up because we're ready to go back into the waves and walk further along.

Thanks for your time and comments, really appreciated.

Have a Sunny Day, ♥ Skates

Nice. I can even see the dangly stuff on his warm-up leggings (must be a bummer, though, having to buy four pairs of any kind of leggings or socks, but it's the shoes that really makes his savings take a hit).

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Nice that he wasn't too crabby about letting you get a shot of him/her. I had a hermit crab as a kid.

Very sharp details all over in this shot. The crab looks like it is posing for you. Excellent job!

Help, it tries to hypnotize me, Pat. ( ☺ ☺ ☺ ! )

Could be that it was amazed by your photographic skills by showing it its portrait too.

Very well done. I can't help however that its appearance has produced a big smile on my face. Thanks for that my, friend!

Smiles ... I adore Ghost Crabs! They are so colorful and animated and charming.

Exceptionally fine photography and composition, Skates ... right down to the multihued grains of sand, the silky shimmering hairs on the crab's legs, and the seaweed bouquet decorating the shore and complimenting the crab's coloration.

Wonderful shot!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
