Hi all, how is your Monday going?? Or should I ask?  Mine went fast like every day on this island.  Curacao again got blown away today by super strong winds which in turn created giant waves!  When I was outside today photographing the dolphins it seemed like almost every hour a set of extra large waves would roll in and just pound the side of the coast with a deafening crash and send walls of water and sea foam into the lagoons!  I tell you it’s a wonder my cameras survive a month in this hostile salty environment, it’s really no place for electronics! 

 

This photo’s for Emily who was with me when we came across this tiny little blue crab at low tide investigating the inside of this old bottle.  These beautiful little crabs occupy almost ever single little shell just below the waters surface.  These are not hermit crabs, they can not live for long on land they must have water but are known to come ashore to search for new shells during low tides as long as the sand is still moist.  For you locals the next time your at the ocean and it’s low tide, just get down on all fours and stop and look, all those tiny, tiny shells you see slowly moving has one of these cuties inside.  

 

That’s about it, all is well, be back tomorrow, Barry
