It’s in there

An Aama crab is washed by a wave in Hawaii

One recent early morning, I spent a while watching A’ama Crabs on the rocks at Spencer Beach Park. This one held its position as the waves washed over it and then receded ….

…. Time after time.

  They’re used to this kind of treatment. It’s the environment they live in.

I found the crab in the first photo – I did search a bit. The later ones almost look like those photos you see of poor sea creatures covered in an oil slick

  They do have a slick look about them. Something to do with the light and the thinning layer of water I guess.
