Low Tide at Tin Can Bay

Had to make a quick trip down to Tin Can the other day with just enough time to have a short walk around the mangroves and foreshore, then back home again. We would have liked more time to enjoy the day. Click on photos to enlarge.

When the tide goes out it goes a long, long way out.

The next set of photos are of Mangrove Snails (Sorry, we have not identified these as yet)
