Found in the Sand

I'm still working on my pictures from recent vacation.  
Taking sunset picture after sunset picture became boring to me, so I shifted my focus to the sand and the myriad of creatures it had to offer.  

Never had I stooped so low and looked so silly as when I was taking these pictures.
My butt got wet from waves several times, but not my camera!
