Find the Crab

Can you see the crab in the photo?

Too easy?  In the comfort of your home, perhaps.  While swimming about and trying to pay attention to everything, it can be surprising what a person may miss.  Here, I was happy to spot the crab right away, for down in Monterey I'd started to pick up a decorator crab thinking that it was a piece of trash; I dropped it before it could pinch my fingers.  This creature is fairly well camouflaged, but not so decorated as that other one.

Here's the close-up.

Lovely Day: Pacifica

I swam out and played in the waves for a while today.
I need to do that a bit more often.

Out In The Water

Out in the water, looking back at land, watching the waves and the surfers . . . .

Favorite views.

I needed it.

Outtakes

Monstrous: just out of the kiln.

Don't forget the coffee.  Strawberry Creek-side.

A really clean window.  And a great view.

Norah Jones, that Frog, and Glenlivet: yes.

 Water, charm.

Checking for more flaws.  Happily.

Coat of Many Colors

This lovely scavenger came looking for crumbs.

When I didn't pony up, she checked the view. And a great view it is: Taco Bell, Pacifica, CA.

Big Brother gave my table a try next.

I hadn't noticed all the colors until I downloaded the shot. In my defense, there were various distractions: the birds' antics, the glorious view, assorted minor wipeouts, and the sunglasses I was wearing.

First, I admire all those colors here.

Then, I attempt to resist the captions crowding my mind. "Surf check!"

Or, "In another life, I'd be shredding."

Or even, "Why aren't they doing airs? Kooks!"
