LIFE AS A CRAB



I am a 'Cancerian' and have often marveled at, and at times tried to draw similarities between the infernal Crab and me.This time when i went to Kashid i went chasing all over the beach in the hope of capturing one such elusive creature on reel.

I think i must have lost at least 2 kgs running trying to get the best shot.All my fancy zoom and angles were to no avail.These crafty tiny creatures would scuttle away as soon as they heard your footsteps in the vicinity........and even MY imagination balked at trying to approach without legs.......

finally after all the chasing and sideways backwards dancing........(i think salsa might have originated from the humble crab)..i got a shot of one of them.What a shot it was........it was like he sat there posing in the sun for me, flexing his claws like show biceps.......





I sat there looking at him and thinking i'm so like him........elusive at most times but preening and showy when i'm in the mood....MOODS......that's so a part of our complex make-up.But whatever you may say i think crabs are the cutest funniest creatures...all at once shy...swift...softies inside...
