Thanks, Bob, Christine and Bruce! The sand crab was a lucky catch. I was taking a wide shot of our favorite Maui Beach (Keawakapu) early in the morning, and I noticed not the crab but the shadow, and it immediately grabbed me. The image pretty much took itself. Sometimes "being there" is the most important thing. <G>
With the snail, I was lucky to have my camera. I had brought it to take publicity shots of the members of my local Rotary Club doing their quarterly highway trash clean-up service project. After the job was done, I was talking to another member when I noticed the snail and the subtle colors of its shell. I ran back to get my camera, and waited for the trail to get a little longer and more obvious, while trying to get the right angle to highlight the slime. It's a good thing snails are a lot slower than sand crabs.
