Striped Shore Crab

























Rolled out to Upper Newport Bay Nature Center...really nice place...movie in theater one of best I've seen of that sort (here's link to filmmaker Lance Milbrand)...paddled about a short while...Harrier, Kestrel, Hummingbird, Duck...and then off to find Pachy...rolled all the way to Dana Point, thinking lots of Breakwater Boulders thereabout...and looked on the Ocean side first..Tide too high...but another pretty girl modeling for photogs, other was at Little Corona being buzzed by the drone!...late afternoon by Ocean has very good light for modeling...anyway, walked along the Harbor side, and no luck, until I made the turn where the Pilgrim replica is docked, and sighted a few Pachys...sigh...success of a sort...class was in progress for the kids on the Pilgrim...Captain in old time clothes takes them back to the 19th century sailing world...Visitor Marine Center here is very nice too, but it was late, and I returned, the long drive mellowed out by the Rain...cloudy rainy cool...note Silver in Pilgrim pic!...Hummingbird at Dana too...Gold Ghosts are Garibaldis...
