Sun On His Shell

Description

When I think of crabs, “cute” is not usually the first word that comes to mind. Most people generally walk right past them, seeing them simply as skittish shoreline critters that vanish the moment you get close. But while walking along the beach one afternoon, out of the corner of my eye I caught this tiny ghost crab scurrying along the sand, carefully hugging the line where the retreating tide washed ashore. I paused to look closer and could not help but laugh at how much personality he had, perched upright with his stalked, beady little eyes tracking my every move.

As soon as I took a gentle step forward, he bolted straight for my backpack sitting on the sand and tucked himself directly underneath it. My family and I spent the next few minutes laughing as we tried to coax him out, but he was completely determined to treat our gear as his personal fortress. Once he finally decided to venture back toward the surf, I dropped down onto the damp sand, lying completely flat with my lens resting at ground level. Being down on his scale let the warm sun catch the texture of his golden shell, turning an ordinary beach critter into a charismatic portrait.
