I Thought Something (Or Someone) Was Hiding In There
Last week while walking along the edge of the marsh pond I noticed this suspicious looking dark shape in among the weeds. I had an idea of what, or who, it would turn out to be and sure enough…within a few minutes who do I see come walking out with a sneaky grin on his face?!? Of course it’s our old pal Mr. A once again taking a pleasant little afternoon stroll over to the salt marsh likely with visions of nice crunchy crabs dancing in his head. 🙂

Oh dear, what an expression! 🙂 Have you any time had any “accidents” running into you dear friends in the marshes?

He has quite a face doesn’t he?! Some months ago I came very close to stepping on one’s nose that was lying in a similar spot. One more step and I likely would have irritated him I’m thinking.

I see. That was pretty close indeed. “shiver” 🙂
His face is out of this world. Give him a contract in Hollywood, you surely have connections?

If he want’s me as his agent, I’m holding out for 20% 🙂

What a surprise that would have been to step on what appears to be a “gray rock” in the grass (in the first photo).
Good eye!

I almost didn’t see him at first but glad I did. This is not the first time something like this has happened, I just missed stepping on the nose of one a couple months ago.

Sneaky big guy!

He is a sneak! And you know what makes it all the more sneaky?!?…they are super quiet too. You would think they would make a racket lumbering around in the weeds but it never made a sound.

Yikes! Have you thought of putting a cow bell on him?

That’s a good idea! Along with maybe one of those bright orange reflective vests.

Wow, gives “blending” a new meaning. I could swear his eye is looking right at you!

He blends in quite nicely indeed, but I suppose that’s his plan. And I can guarantee he is looking right at me. 🙂

I did almost step on the nose of one is a similar location a while back. I have to figure that would not be good for anybody.

Phil, you just can’t blame a fellow for being sneaky about an afternoon snack! Mr. A has camera appeal… always posing for you!

Well he has the right idea as far as trying to stay out of view, I’m just glad when I do spot him before I take one step too many. 🙂
He does have camera appeal doesn’t he?!

Wouldn’t want to stumble across Mr. A while walking in the weeds.

No, you have to figure that would not be good for anybody. Plus no one wants their nose stepped on so I can’t blame him there. 🙂
