Some sort of crab

Honestly, I don’t know what this is, but it sure looks like some sort of crab. I captured this bad boy at the Channel Islands National Park during my last trip. Any ideas on what type of crab it is? I tried to search on Google and couldn’t find a darn thing…

Blue Flowers

I first thought these were Bell Flowers, but after looking at some images on Google, I discovered that they look different. Any ideas on what these are?

I’m not much into Macro, but do take pictures when there is a good opportunity. I liked the volume of flowers here and snatched a pic:

More macro

Don’t know the name of this fruit/plant, but thought it was pretty. Not sure if the white one is not ripe, or maybe it is simply colorless?

Butterfly

When there is no wildlife to shoot, I go macro!
