Description

ENCINITAS, CA — A Patch reader and Encinitas resident, who requested Patch not publish her name, captured this photo of a floating crab thermometer in her swimming pool that makes sure the water is "a comfortable 78" degrees. She calls the crab "Shelldone Krabs" and submitted the photo in recognition of May being Skin Cancer Awareness Month. "I forgot my sunscreen; now I look like a cooked lobster!" she wrote. "Next time, while patrolling the pool, I won't forget the white stuff. It keeps my shell looking youthful and smooth. Please don't get over-cooked. Wear your sunscreen." Thanks for sharing! If you have an awesome picture of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is San Diego County, and that show off your unique talents. Send your photos to [email protected]. Be sure to include photo credit information, when and where the shot was taken, and any other details about what was going on.
