A Crab Condo

At the beach, we encountered various wonders of nature. I've decided to break them up into little segments and show you a video each day...Matt Wilkins-style.

The first one shows a cluster of shells and barnacles. At first, when we found it, we didn't think anything was unusual because we've seen these things at the Gulf tons of times. However, upon closer inspection, we saw countless tiny crabs. It was like a crab condominium, so to speak. Bring the kids into the room and let them see nature up close and personal. (A science teacher would have a hay-day on an outing with us.)

Two things of note: 1) In the bright sunlight, my camera's viewing screen was about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. I couldn't see what I was filming. 2) I was wearing contacts, which allow me to see great at a distance. I can't see diddley-bupkiss up close, though; unless I put on reading glasses. So pardon the shaky cam and the poor framing.

It's one thing to tell everybody that you got crabs in Florida, but to show us?! Geez, man.
