Rachel's recent posting made me have a quick look back through the archives. Taken on the same island roughly about the same time too, spooky. :eek:
It was towards late afternoon, the tide was coming in quite quickly, as I stood knee deep in the sea whilst this Sally lightfoots came out and began to filter. The dark black volcanic rock is a great setting for this almost 'Disney coloured' creature, however be warned, to fall or slip on this stuff is really lethal!
Thanks for reminding me Rachel.
