Default No Moon Junction

I was going to try another shot of the Full Moon last night, but the clouds were just not cooperating, so here are a few from my lunchtime beach walk yesterday.

Colorful but Crabby

Jumping Spiders were everywhere, I couldn't get one to look me in the eye.

Hi Michael. That's some intersting stuff there. The crab is really colorful.
The last two have had an interesting treatment....pretty neat

Sorry we missed out on more moon shots, but it looks like it was a pretty good walk down by the beach so hardly second best.
A lovely selection of pictures Michael, with a bonus pair where you demonstrate your growing editing skills, lovely work as always, nice job

Very colourful crab, and the Topaz finish is quite interesting.

As always, your closeups are magnificent, and your last two PP'd photos are works of art. Nicely done, Michael
