When I stumbled upon this hermit crab it made me remember a time I vacationed with my grandparents along the gulf and brought home a bag of shells. When we got home, I dumped the shells out on the porch to show my cousin and one started crawling away! We both jumped screaming, lol. Cut me some slack though, I was only 8 at the time.
Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - THANX to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!
Fantastic shots, and Happy Mother's Day to you!
ReplyDeleteCute little guys. I'd scream a little today if part of a shell collection started crawling away.
