Crab Carnage

It was crab carnage last week at Ballydowane.  There had been some stormy weather but nothing to account for the amount of whole crabs, legs, claws, and shells that I found all over Ballydowane.  I also saw my first whole Velvet Swimming Crab with their lovely, flattened back legs for swimming.  The colours were amazing, rosy pinks, vivid oranges, purple and electric blue.
