Footprints

In search of a photo with my new camera, I wandered about waiting to be delighted. Would I capture another wave, one more sunset, or kids playing in the surf with their boundless energy and enthusiasm for the shore? I found unknown footprints in the sand.

Many things caught my eye as I walked barefoot grinding the tiny particles with each step on this mini adventure. What would it be as I took the time to look ahead, up, below and to my sides? I found much to photograph as I listened to the waves hit the sand while birds or gulls sang a tune.

Here is the sandpiper, or sanderling: wading in the water at the ocean’s edge, searching for something after each shoreline wave, and the morning feast it consumes of tiny mollusks exposed or kicked up after each wave.
