I headed out today to do some photos, basically following my nose. I hoped to see one of the Snowy Owls that have made it down to Delaware this year and stayed generally off Rt 1 in the beachy areas. I ended up going to Slaughter Beach because I could and got out to see what was up. There were practically no clouds in the sky when I started and by the time I was done it had started to cloud over. Anyways, I got these three photos I liked. It struck me as strange/cool for these long dead crabs to be back in the water again, albeit frozen.

![Here they are, frozen in time, a male and female crab in their mating ritual. The male is much smaller than the female in life and in death.](http://davidwolanski.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/P1266076.jpg)
I remember them as a kid but it was much warmer, great capture.
Didn’t know males are so much smaller. More power to them I suppose.
