I walked down to the small beach that was right by the hotel I was staying at in Key West. I wanted to take some pictures, so I scanned the area for things to take pictures of... then I stumbled along this really interesting shell. I found it just along the edge of the water.
I noticed that there was something very different about this shell. It seemed to have more personality about it than what first appeared. After I set it back down the shell started to come to life!!! It started to move! Then I realized that it wasn't just a sea shell, it was the home of a hermit crab!! It was hilarious to see this little crab appear, slowly coming out and up. Crawling in the sand. A few ladies walked by and scared him and he quickly snapped the shell down to hide!
We had great fun together!
As I continued my journey by the ocean I noticed all of these weird looking creatures in the water. They mainly stayed upside down and remained very still.
I managed to flip one over with a stick and see it's bountiful tentacles moving in the water. I am pretty sure that they were some sort of Jelly Fish. Even though it looked very different from some other Jelly fish I saw later in the day.
It was great to spend some time with the Ocean and 80 Degree weather!!
