Crabby day

Turning over slimy green slabs.
Barnacle bedecked.
Finding tiny little green crabs.
Red and purple flecked.



My family went walking at the beach, well, all except Gage. He was carried. We turned over the rocks, made prickly by their barnacle friends, and found crabs. There were lots of different colors, but only two or three species. We gave them to Dad to identify. There were some teeny tiny little hermit crabs too, small as a pinhead. I found a bigger one, about the size of a matchhead, it had one of the little ones clinging to his claws.
