We walked to the North today after our morning chores. The day was beautiful - around 70, breezy, sunny enough to get a burn. We even saw people swimming. They told us the water was about the same as late June/early July.
The beach was just loaded with these little guys. They are beautifully camouflaged, but always give themselves away by scurrying off sideways. This guy was about 1/2 inch across the body. He was lucky not to share the fate of the blue crab seen below.
This blue crab was gobbled up in a matter of seconds by a gull. Snip, snip, off with the legs until only the center remained. Then a few pecks to get at the meat.
The fall is a beautiful time down here. It mixes the dry, sere grasses and dead pines with a glorious blue sky.
Even the reeds and grasses look good as they fade to brown.
Unfairly accused of wasting my retirement on men's butts yesterday, today I choose to show Esther''s butt as she wings away down the beach. No caber here!
