The tide is nice and semi-low today, which means I can actually walk on the beach more then I have been able to recently. Looking at the “middle” section of the beach in general it looks barren of life. It looks to be littered with some boulders but for the most part the beach is covered in a dark grey sand. But on a closer look you can see there is tons of that dark grey sand but there is also several different sized rocks and boulders that cover this beach, giving it the rocky beach feel. Since the tide is out the rocks are exposed which means what life that didn’t wash away with the water, much be hidden under the rocks. They must hide or they risk being exposed to the weather elements, the sun, and those Sea Gulls.
I walked up to a good-sized rock and moved it, hoping to find some kind of life. I was disappointed; nothing was there that I would see. I replaced the rock where it was, just in case there was something there that I could see. Then I move onto the next rock and move it…Jackpot! This time as I move the rock little crabs start to scatter everywhere. Most scramble to find cover fast but then there are a few that seem to be making a stand. They stay put but arch up on their legs and thrust there little pinchers in the air as if they could take me one. I laughed at them, snap a few pictures then replace the rock so those tuff, macho crabs can be hidden from the world again.
