Tiny Sand Crab, Another Photo

I have featured this Sand Crab here for Wordless Wednesday and here for Photo Hunter.
But I still want to feature another photo. Why?
Because I have several photos of this tiny creature and I just had to post this last one before the photos are archived.
I remember running after these sand crabs whenever we go to the beach, when I was a young girl. Well, I still do, try to catch them but they are just too fast for me, hiding into their little holes in the sand.
Speaking of sand, it is interesting to note that there are a lot of beaches here in the country with white powdery sand that from afar one would think these are diamond rings glowing.
The beach where I had that photo taken, I do not know why the sand where the waves hit turned black when the rest are not the same. The sand there is not as white as the other places in the country but it still puzzled me so because it was not like that when we went there before.
Minor oil spill perhaps? I hope not. I just want to share this post about the 31 Ways to Save the Ocean Group Writing Project that I joined early this year.

No crowds and that just suits me fine. I would love to have a beachfront home some day.
