Rather than share the usual photos of the gorgeous Monterey shore I want to show you what captivated me – the marks nature left behind on the beach.

The Snarky Quilter · a quilt police-free zone
The Snarky Quilter 
Makes me long for a trip back to Del Mar. The sand there was a mix of light and dark with smooth stones everywhere. Oh how I love the beach!
Bottom line, Pacific Ocean trumps Atlantic Ocean generally. I have a soft spot for the 26 mile length of national seashore on Okracoke Island.
We were out walking on the lake a couple days ago (well, on the ice on the lake) and I was admiring the exact same sort of markings in the windblown snow. And we have drifts in the yard that look like breaking waves caught in time. I love that photo with the long shadow!
I only wish the snow around my house were so attractive. It’s mostly piled in dirty chunks. The big plus of Monterey was the temperature- in the low 60s. Oh, and then there was the Pacific Ocean.
It is interesting– I did the same thing in FL last year. I took lots of wonderful pix of the beach as revealed by ebbing tides– all those patterns!
I wonder how those patterns would look printed on organza?
Looks as much like snow as sand!
Luckily, the temps were in the low 60s, so sand, not snow.
I can see it captivated you. There is a lot of quilt inspiration there!
If I ever get good a free motion quilting…
Simply magnificent! Love nature!
Now if only I could have captured the colors of the sand underneath the water.
That is the quest, to capture nature. I guess the key is to capture the feeling…..
Too true about capturing the feeling, your response to nature. It’s one thing to replicate a scene, but a photo can do that. It’s quite another to try to capture the spirit of a place.
