Pickle and I went on an exploration of parks, and discovered this beach at the top of Point Vernon, near where we're currently living in Hervey Bay. There are a few rocks amongst the sand, and as it was the end of the day, we decided on just a little splash. Pickle pointed out a pretty shell, and when I picked it up I realised there was a creature inside. Not only that, but the beach was absolutely littered with them... all of a sudden, the scatter of shells seemed to come to life before our eyes. There were dozens and dozens of tiny hermit crabs making their way out with the tide. Pickle was absolutely intrigued, and spent ages watching them. He occasionally picked one up for a closer look, but put them back again.

Apparently there can be baby turtles on occasion too, so this is a beach we'll definitely be going back to explore the rock pools!
I originally edited this photo on
Instagram, but preferred the length of the original shot, and wanted to straighten the horizon - I think it makes a better look in the original, unfiltered form.
Hope you agree?
Cheers, KangaRue :)
It's a great shot! Can only imagine how intriguing it would all be to a child!
