Hanging out with a bunch of crabs in Kenya Photo Gallery by Nick Vivian at pbase.com

Hanging out with a bunch of crabs in Kenya

I was lying in the sea fully clothed as the sun was beating down whilst taking most of these shots. The camera was exposed to the ocean spray caused by a fierce wind, and there was plenty of sand blowing around too. At one point I was completely submerged by a big wave, apart from a raised arm holding a scared camera.
Note to self: get insurance next time.

; - >

I hope u all chuckle as much as I did whilst making this

Feeling Crabby ?... This'll cheer u up.

< am adding more crabs from Sweden... they're bigger and meaner ! >

Wakey Wakey, rise and shine	Preparing brekkie	Paddling	Early morning stroll
Taking a shine to some seaweed	Fighting the sea	Taking a quick pee, hoping that no-one will notice	I'm forever blowing bubbles
I'm different.... No ur not	Breast stroke	Going for a walk... but am a bit lost	Stealing the water
Wilderness	Wot U looking at ?... Heh	Bubble Bath	ooooooOOOooo
Lurking in the surf	Ouch !!	beached crab	Proud
Sideways	No-one will spot me if I hide here	Scaring the neighbours	Toe Biting
FIGHT	Ballet practise	I can't fit it all in my mouth, but I'm gonna try	Showing muscles
2 against 1	Tug of War !	Norman no mates	Eye Spy
Hanging out at the beach	Chilling	Sun bathing - pinker than a lobster !	Having a bath
One armed bandit	Taking the leaf for a walk	Can I borrow yours ?..No..	Odd one out
The Eyes have it	Drowning	Knitting... not going so well	OOO it's cold !
Me again	Wierd Eyes	Which way to run ?	Itchy nose
tricolore	Put em up... fight like a man	running after the ladies	I am smokin a faaaaag
Ahhhh... a good cuppa	If I tiptoe and stare, will I get away ?	fancy some bubbly ?
Under water	Lunch	Sally Lightfoot crab	Little and Large
Beer drinking	Floating Crab	Catch of the day

A very crabby gallery; great and fun perspectives and captures. Great work. Put a smile in my heart. And you risked it all; a true photographer - agree, insurance is a good idea.
