Last Day of 2012

For our final day of 2012, we went to a beach near Purple Island.  We had been in this area last year, but this time we wanted to try a different spot.  It was a warm day (around 74 degrees) with a bit of wind.  The tide was way out and even when we got to the water, it was only about 4 inches deep.

 Flamingos in the background.. I tried to walk out to them, but as soon as I got too close they flew off.

These are snails that covered the sand.  They were slowly moving along leaving a long trail in the sand.

 The mangroves

Santa brought little remote controlled boats.  This waterway was a great place to try them out.

Little crabs dig out these holes in the sand.  The hole is surrounded by perfectly formed balls of sand.
