This Hermit Crab is an incredibly tiny creature, barely larger than a thumb nail. With its intricately patterned shell, this miniature crab scampers along beaches and coral reefs, seeking shelter and food. Its petite size adds a touch of charm to its already mysterious allure, reminding us of the fascinating wonders that exist in our world, no matter how small.

Atlantic ghost crab on the beach at Cape Henlopen State Park
Ghost crabs burrow in the sand, but must get into the water periodically to moisten their gills. They are very shy, but if you stand still long enough, they emerge to roam around. Until you move, and then they are instantly gone. It's a cool game

Thanks for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. I really appreciate it very much.
From Wikipedia: The Atlantic ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, is a species of ghost crab. It is a common species along the Atlantic coast of the United States, where it is the only species of ghost crab;[2] its range of distribution extends from its northernmost reach on beaches in Westport, Massachusetts, south along the coasts of the tropical Western Atlantic Ocean to the beach of Barra do Chui, in Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil.[3]
(279/365) This Crab Apple tree in our chicken pen has had plenty of fruit this Summer. Sadly I don't like crab apple jelly (plus it seems so fiddly what with having strain it through a muslin bag overnight) so I don't make it & the fruits are left for the chickens & crows to enjoy.
The previous image would not be complete without a picture of the actual crab traps to go with the lines.
This image was taken a little later in the evening ... the setting sun was closer to the horizon and shedding a warm, orangey glow.
To keep it authentic, I've included the mast of the fish boat moored directly behind the nets.

With all the blue crabs that raccoons are able to snatch from the bayou, I wonder why the Whooping Cranes haven't put us on their map.
While in the self-proclaimed "Cherry Capital of America", Traverse City, we saw two trees loaded with the most perfect plump red fruits. I stopped to take a picture of the "cherry trees", and they turned out to be Crab Apples.
Googling "Crab Apple Recipes", I was surprised to find many recipes for crab apple jelly, pie filling, butter...etc. I'm sure the abundant fruits would taste fine, but seems like a lot of work preparing the tiny apples.
Wikipedia: The crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis), also known as the long-tailed macaque and referred to as the cynomolgus monkey in laboratories, is a cercopithecine primate native to Southeast Asia. A species of macaque, the crab-eating macaque has a long history alongside humans; it has been alternately seen as an agricultural pest, sacred animal in some temples, and more recently, the subject of medical experiments.

Driving through the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park I passed a group of macaques in the water. By the time I turned around and came back they had already exited the water and were climbing nearby trees.
Wikipedia: The crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis), also known as the long-tailed macaque and referred to as the cynomolgus monkey in laboratories, is a cercopithecine primate native to Southeast Asia.

The crab-eating macaque lives in matrilineal social groups of up to eight individuals dominated by females. Male members leave the group when they reach puberty. It is an opportunistic omnivore and has been documented using tools to obtain food in Thailand and Myanmar. The crab-eating macaque is a known invasive species and a threat to biodiversity in several locations, including Hong Kong and western New Guinea The significant overlap in macaque and human living space has resulted in greater habitat loss, synanthropic living, and inter- and intraspecies conflicts over resources.

I don't think anyone goes hungry on Bolivar Flats although some fare better than others in the process. On the poorer side in this case is a small crab, snatched by a Willet from a shallow tidal pool at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
I tried a portrait of this crab apple tree at sunset with a fast ultra wide angle which has good near range capabilities. The tree keeps these small fruits the whole winter time and so is a delight for birds.

The final image from my walk around the bottom of Salcombe the other morning. It was an amazingly still morning with just a little bit of mist and plenty of reflections to play with.
Grapsus grapsus is one of the most common crabs along the western coast of the Americas. It is known as the red rock crab, or, along with crabs such as Percnon gibbesi, as the Sally Lightfoot crab. I photographed these beauties while traveling through the GalƔpagos Islands.
Flickr feed issue:
The last photo I uploaded was invisible in the feed of many people. I thought Flickr had rectified this issue, but apparently it is back and just as irritating. The whole point of sharing photos is that they may be seen and the feed is the main source. Let's see what happens with this one......
These pretty white flowers pop up in the fields after a decent rain. This morning I saw that several of them had provided shelter and camouflage for these little white crab spiders...
