    Yep cant see you little fellow!! How precious!

  • Icesrun,

    I wish I could have taken the shot when he had buried himself in the sand. He tried to do it here, but there was more rock then sand. In an area of all sand, he laid out like this… then started to vibrate and sank into the sand. Only his eyes were readily visible.
