“A stunning find in the Atlantic Beach surf following Hurricane Irma; a rare Giant Red Hermit Crab (Petrochirus Diogenes) in a Queen Conch shell! Although they are native to Florida and reefs along the East Coast and into the Caribbean, they are rarely seen but can be ‘beached” by storms. This “Rider on the Storm” was enormous and bold; crawling partway out of the shell to check us out and drawing a small crowd as evening faded to night. He (or she) returned to the safety of the sea leaving us still exhilarated by the encounter. You never know what treasures you’ll discover on a beach walk…
BEACHES
Every beach is carved and serves up the sea
with peace and vitriol unique to its shores.
Though they may stripe maps with different names,
Ecosystems shape
with more subtle boundaries
woven by tides and shifting sand,
day by day.
Life and death meet at the sea.
Each walk upon such virgin landscape
humbles and renews.
