Tracks in the Sand

While walking the beach of Treasure Island, we began to notice the many different tracks left on the freshly worked sand. This series of photos depict tracks made by water fowl, animals, equipment and Mother Nature. We found these very interesting, unique and some times confusing as to what made them. The first tire track is from the police car of the Treasure Island Police as they routinely check the beach. This is much appreciated and a great service. The second tire track is from some of the many bicycles that people use while traversing the beach on a beautiful day. The second to last photo was one of the more intriguing as we tried to figure out what would make this type of track. As we returned to the resort from our walk on the beach one evening we found the answer to our question. People will drag a lounge chair from the pool area and take it to the beach for the day. They drag it leaving a trail of two rails behind them. The tracks made by Mother Nature are of course the most natural and beautiful. The last photo shows that all tracks have to get along together in this world we love to enjoy. As the tide returns during the evening hours, these tracks are erased and new ones will be created tomorrow.
