A Little Crabby Thanks To The Rain

This weeks YOU CAPTURE challenge is Nature.

I thought about so many different things that I could capture.

Stevie and Alex had Lightning McQueen and his posse all lined up in a dirt pile over the weekend pretending it was Willy’s Butte. (That entire sentence will mean nothing to you non-Lightning McQueen fans!) Unfortunately, I was in the midst of planting flowers in my window boxes and didn’t want to get potting soil on my camera lens, so I decided against taking stopping to capture the shot.

Then, the boys found a turtle but we were standing in the middle of the road and I couldn’t leave the boys in the road to hurry in and get the camera from the house.

I mean I guess I could have. But something told me that might not be wise.

So.

This is what I came up with.

This was the scene from our back deck on the ONE and ONLY day it did not rain last week. (AHEM!) I thought the sky was so bright and blue.

It was such a drastic change from the dreary. nasty. cold. wet. rain.

And I decided to throw this one in for fun.

This is a crab that ran across the road on our recent trip to Guantanamo Bayto visit McDaddy. I couldn’t believe how large this sucker was. I tried a crab cake one night at dinner. It was probably this guy’s brother.

I’m about to vomit in my mouth just thinking about it.

Sorry.
