Lovely shots Hayward. Sorry the little guy never showed up after your 10 minute wait! But that photo is still pretty cool, I love the textures in it. And your private little beach looks heavenly. I can see why you wish you were there now.

Sand crabs are crafty little things quickly disappearing into their holes, waiting until you walk away before they crawl back out again. Love the second pic, looks like a very nice place to stay.

Nice shots. In the first one, the colors of the flower are so pretty against the sand. Of course the second shot just makes me want to call in sick tomorrow and go to the beach!

Hi Hayward... these are great. I'm guessing you took these in Samoa? The beach looks beautiful. Very much like here, huh? I have the same problem with the sand crabs... they run away so quickly.

Only 10 minutes Hayward? Patience, patience! You captured the entrance to his residence well, that will have to do for now. Just keep looking at that great beach my freind, it will warm you up. PAUL

Beautiful shots Hayward..The texture of the sand is visible in the 1st shot so clear details..Love the contrast of the flowers to the sand and your private beach is simply beautiful... Thank you for sharing

Wow Hayward... The composition of the first one is brilliant and a fantastic capture too. Good job the sand crab didn't come out and spoil your wonderful shot and please can I join you on your private beach and soak up some sun.. What a gorgeous location.
As usual Hayward my friend, your work is a pleasure to view. Thank you.

David
