I was walking along the beach in Fort Clinch State Park FL when I saw this large, beautiful (to me, anyway) horseshoe crab…

I saw this crab on his back, tail straight in the air and assumed he was dead…. people were walking all around him – no doubt avoiding him out of revulsion, fear, or apathy – I was afraid he was dead but was pleasantly surprised to see he was ok.  I turned him over and watched him make his way to the water and swim off.  I know it is a small, insignificant thing the the grand scheme of life – but saving his life made me feel so good inside…
