There were quite a few on the beach today, alive and crawling. Usually it's just the empty shells, like war helmets, curved in the sand... but today they were coming ashore and then slowly, slowly crawling towards the water.
A family was trying to rescue them: picking them up and putting them back into the waves. I didn't help, was holding the dog on her leash and she was interested in other things, like what other dogs had left behind, footprints, and the playful water.
As we walked away, I thought... don't they come ashore to lay eggs in spring? Isn't that what they are doing?
I think the family was trying to turn back the tide...
