There was an abundance of crisscrossing tracks from people, raccoons, crabs, shore birds, and a lot I didn't recognize. My favorites were those of different species crossing paths like these of a child and a raccoon. Photographing early in the morning let me find many before the day's human traffic erased the beach dwellers' tracks, and the angle of the early morning sun helped define the shapes. I shot straight down with a 'normal'  50mm lens.
