Living in a Rock Pool

"Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's, um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich... That's, that's about it."

- Bubba Blue (in Forrest Gump)

Today my wife and I took the kids down to the beach at low tide. We wandered around the rocks and looked in the rock pools left behind by the tide. The shrimp certainly scattered when Mr 3 jumped into the pools, and/or threw rocks in, but in his quiet moments we checked out the tiny little shrimp.

How many can you see in this pic? ;-)
