I quite enjoy solitude now and then, in particular, I enjoy a quiet beach. We're fortunate to have such a place a short drive from our home. We are very close to Honeymoon Island State Park, and much of the designated land, including the beaches, have been left in their natural state. This is a lovely natural reserve protecting wildlife and plant species. Seaweed and driftwood lie about, allowing for some very nice photo taking. With few people around, one can listen to the ocean sounds, observe nesting sea birds and watch for little creatures that make their homes in tide pools along the beach. The Fiddler Crab can be part of one's afternoon entertainment, should you lie quite still on the sand. They are fun to watch and seem to pop up by the hundreds during low tide. I wonder, have you ever come eye-to-eye with a Fiddler Crab?
