Crabby Macro Monday

m05

This little fellow is just adorable!

m03

He thinks he’s so tough!

m02

I think he needs to shave his legs, lol.

m01

So maybe these are more technically close-ups, but that’s ok, right? Did you see the size of that sand?! Yeah, he’s little!

m04

I found his little eyes amazing!!

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 MckLinky.  Don’t forget to visit each other.  :)

My shot has been edited in Paint Shop Pro, not sure it would be worth looking at if it hadn’t been… LoL! Am I not suppose to edit them to be able to post for Macro Monday? If so, I didn’t know that, sorry!

He is a cutie! However did you catch him holding still long enough to get so close?

Way cool Lisa. Fascinating creature. Love the eyes (and the rest of him too). Looks like we’re both doing crawly things this week. Yours is way bigger though.

I wonder if that sand in his arm is as scratchy as it appears to me?
Super shots! I even said to myself (before you brought attention to this legs) that they were so close you can see the hair on his legs.

What a cute, brave little critter! You got some great, clear shots. And I think my shot this week might technically qualify as a close up as well.
