"Skitters" gots his eyes on you! - a photo on Flickriver

"Skitters" gots his eyes on you!

            Ghost crabs are so much fun to watch.  They disappear into their burrow and emerge with "balls" of sand they just excavated, dump the sand and return to their burrow to repeat.  More often than not, they disappear for an extended time when a crazed photographer (me) wants to get low and take some photos. Patience is usually rewarded after a time as they will re-emerge to go through their skittering routine.  While this one did just exactly that, I happened to be on the rear end side of him as he did his work.  That certainly did not deter him from watching my every move with those magnificent eyes swiveling about! 

Taken at Bolivar Flats Shorebird Sanctuary, Texas.

Have a Blessed Sunday! 

My sincere thanks to all who spend the time to view, like or comment on my photos. It is much appreciated!
