Crab escape

This little crab had a lucky escape and was making a hasty retreat into the sand, in seconds completly disappearing out of sight with only a few bubbles to show where it was.
Some fishermen had netted a whole bucket of them, but this one was not up to size.
I loved the smiley face on its back, must be to attract young lady crabs!!

Taken with a lens baby.

Nice time wandering along the beach with friends serpent & Chrissy Belle
