Hello crab

We were near the lighthouse looking in the rock pools for crabs. There were a few really tiny hermit crabs that could only be seen once you had slowed down completely and let your mind settle.

Then there was a much larger crab. It emerged from behind a huge rock and very slowly edged from alcove to alcove, remaining in the shadows. The crab appeared to be heading directly towards our position.

Minutes passed and the crab continued to approach. Any doubts as to its intentions were set aside when the crab came to a stop in front of us and lifted its face out of the water.

The entire incident was downright surreal.
