Breakfast

It's pretty common, walking along the beach as the tide goes out, to see crab shells, but I've never seen a live crab like this before.  I'm not sure how he got here, but it wasn't a good sign for him.  He was surrounded by hungry seagulls when we approached.  The seagulls were lurking in the background waiting for us to leave.  I'm not sure what happened after we headed down the beach, but I think this little guy turned into breakfast.

I was in Indiana for the weekend and wasn't able to post, but I did have a chance to get out to the dunes for a short time Sunday morning.  There's a fractal rhythm to how the waves build and subside here.  This photo captures a peek moment in the waves, as these seagulls feast on breakfast. I haven't been to the dunes in the winter in a long time, so I'm very in love with this photo.  This place feeds my soul, and everything about this image makes me happy.
