The most recent Weekly Photo Challenge is about colour. Without wanting to sound like I’m bragging, I have heaps of photos of colour. My favourites are those depicting the fabulous hues provided by mother nature.
I have therefore decided to introduce you to Bernard the hermit crab, who P.F and I bumped into on a romantic wander along the rocky coast in St Aygulf, France. He has gorgeous beady eyes and vivid orange antennae, and the blue spots on his abdomen make him the sexiest crustacean on the beach. A real festival of colour provided courtesy of Mother Nature.
Bernard the hermit crab.
Multifarious meanderings 
Stunning shot =)
Thanks. He was a great poser 🙂
Marvellous photo! Those jewel-like colours are wonderful.
Thanks, Miss P 😉 Nature always makes the Dulux range of colours look ike a sad compromise. We humans will never be as good!
Very creative and definitely with COLOR !
Thanks! I’d just like to warn you that when I clicked on your name, Apple the pooter told me that your server didn’t exist. It does exist- I just typed the name again because the “o” and the “u” in “curious” have swapped seats. Get it fixed so that people can get back to your blog- it’d be a shame for them and you if you didn’t 😉
Wonderful macro shot. I love how his orange “stingers” popped out of the photo. I’m not sure what they’re called :s
Thank you 🙂 They’re antennae, no doubt used to listen to the radio from the bottom of his shell and dance the Harlem shake with his pal Larry the Lobster.
Sweet (and brave, haha). I admit I don’t like little crawly things. But I love how his antennae stand out so brightly.
I don’t have any problems with creepy crawlies; with a biologist other half, it’s advisable 🙂 He seemed to be very intent on playing the star. I suspect he has a high opinion of himself, given his readiness to pose for the photo. Typically French.
Too funny. Well it’s an awesome picture.
Beautiful photo! I love it! 🙂
Thank you!
Stylish antennae, love the bright contrast with the camouflaged body-work.
Lovely photo too. 🙂
Thanks. I’m waiting for the Chronopost guy to pull his finger out and deliver my new camera lens – my prize from the expats blog competition! Can’t wait. I’ll finally be able to do real macro photography. But first I have to get the delivery man to phone me when he’s lost rather than shrug his shoulders and go back to the depot. What a plank.

Great photo! Did he try and do a runner? He looks like his little legs have been going ten to the dozen and now he’s all flaked out hanging over his shell! 🙂
