They are balls of sand the crabs take out of their holes. Artistic aren’t they?

Thank you RG…..oh well….ok. All the ones with the sand balls are all done by the crabs, there is a photo of a Sand Crab. One is a leaf on the sand, one is a jelly fish with a bit of seaweed, the stick figure is a bit of fun at the beach I made and the concentric circles are from a Sculptures by the Sea exhibition in Sydney a few years ago. Phew…..

I love the way they create patterns with their sand balls the crabs! Is it intentional or happen-chance I wonder!!
And your stick man is brilliant π

Loving the other posts. I’m going to stick with the idea it is intentional!! Like to think of them planning a design underneath the sand π

Sand – a great medium for abstracts. I would be lost here if I “had to” participate. Most of our beaches are rocky.

Yes rocky beaches aren’t the thing for a sand challenge. I had to put the sand sculpture photo I did for one of your challenges, one of my first challenge π
