This is an Atlantic ghost crab doing what Atlantic ghost crabs do — excavating a new home in the sand. These guys were quite common on the beach in Barbados. Their constant activity gave me something to do rather than just lying in the sun all day. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 400, f/6.3 at 1/1250th of a second.
——- Between life and death and
——- Land and sea a Limbo
——- There will always be
——- An exoskeleton holds sway
——- While we toss sand fitfully,
——- Heikegani in Japan have
——- Etched upon their carapace
——- A long dead warriors face.
“Blondie” is a far cry from the Purple Shore Crabs we have along the coast of Northern California. Most interesting! Fortunately for you, Sean, she came along at the right moment, saving you from the rigors of basking in the sun in Barbados!
