“In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is a story of the earth.” Rachel Carson, writing in Holiday magazine, 1958.
From the curving beach of St Catherines Island, another blog post in the grapheme series (parts I, II, and III). Sand scribblings. For the full coastal Georgia effect, view in a steam room with the heat turned up to one hundred degrees. Click on any image for the slideshow:

nice – every slide tells a story…
Can you identify each one? (By the way, we’re using the same camera these days!)
Not all of them. But there are Wilson’s plovers, ghost crabs, hogs, feral dog/coyotes, loggerhead turtles, and various inverts. Perhaps a mouse too.
Sharing with my hiking club on Facebook. Beautiful stuff!
Thank you!

Wonderful. Thank you.
i do miss the beach crabs and their sandy soap operas. the etchings by beach grass
Thank you SO MUCH! What a wonderful collection of foot (etc.) prints. Wonder what made that

shadows on shadows on shadows: plants disturb the sunlight, feet disturb the sand, all create patterns in the whirling electrical congregations of our minds
Very nice post with fabulous photos. I do this with tracks in the snow, but we have nowhere near the diversity.
