Pickering Beach is one of the small beach towns. So small there’s only about 20 houses and nothing else. Literally… so maybe it’s not even really a town?! But just a beach? Who knows…

Anyway, it was so nice this morning to have the entire place to myself.
Not another person to be seen anywhere up & down the beach.

Okay, so no people… but plenty of horseshoe crabs!
So many of them flipped over on the beach. Trapped upside-down without a way to get back to the water. So I did my duty and started crab flipping. I must have flipped at least two dozen!!!

And just so you can see how big they are… here’s a horseshoe crab compared to my foot!
