While sifting for shark’s teeth we came upon several small crabs. I thought this one was pretty tiny, until I saw. . .

Now he’s tiny! These were taken with my little waterproof point and shoot.

Can you tell he’s no bigger than a penny? It’s so funny to see something that small get all defensive, lol.

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

I have been trying to change my attitude towards the chipmunks driving me crazy. They are everywhere, so I might as well embrace them, lol.

This butterfly stood out in the sunshine amongst the green.

This one tried to hide in shadows but he wasn’t as sneaky as he thought.

I live in an area where summer is so short that if you blink you will miss it. I have to soak up every flower quickly before they’re gone.  I appreciate their bright colors and smells, knowing that all too soon there will be nothing but white surrounding me.

The Cedar Waxwings have been unusually cooperative. I really enjoyed watching this pair bounce around eating berries.

The one closest to us would pick a berry, hop over on the branch and give it to the other one.

The rest sat far above while these two had their intimate dinner.

I’m assuming they were a pair as they never got far from each other.
