A Crabby Day (not really)

To be honest - she was dead.

But apparently this crab was a rare find on the beach. I thought she was a beauty - the colors were astounding. The fact that she was dead allowed her to be a perfect playmate despite the seagulls that were breathing down our necks as we played.

As a note of interest did you know that you can tell a boy crab from a girl crab by turning them upside down and looking at their belly? A lighthouse and you have a boy, a beehive and you have a girl. Our friend was a girl.
