Watamu is a very small village on the coast of Kenya. Three lagoons curving into the coast make up the village. Coral grows in these Indian Ocean lagoons and when the tide is out, the coral is exposed. If you walk up to some of the islets (small islands of coral poking up in the lagoon), you see all kinds of beautiful and sometimes scary-looking sea creatures. Mostly crabs. Gray, orange, yellow and white, scurrying, climbing, running.

Here is one especially shy crab. Soon the tide will turn, water will fill up the lagoons and this little guy/gal will be safely tucked into the coral, covered by the Indian Ocean.
