2011, Day 283 - Feeling crabby

It's Monday and we're getting the worst kind of rain, the type that alternates between a light mist and a deluge without warning.  To make matters worse my dogs are used to walks in order to answer the call of nature so I get caught in the downpours when I am blocks from home so even if I move quickly I almost certain to be soaked by the time we get to the house.  Oh well, it is the price we pay for some of the most majestic scenery in the country.

In honor of #MacroMonday and my current crabbiness about being wet I decided to revisit a picture of one of the crabs found on a beach in Koh Lanta.  These little guys are tiny and fast so you have to move slowly and be a little bit patient to capture them on digital film.  At the time I was creating an army of followers to conquer Thailand; it was composed of crabs, fish, cats and geckos.  They would never have seen us coming but there wasn't enough time to bring my plan to fruition.  Oh well, next time I'm in Thailand I might call my generals back into active duty :)
