It is cooler this weekend and the afternoon winds added a chilly bite to the air while taking a walk on a beach.

The beaches on Lake Superior in February are normally don’t have much traffic, but with most of the snow and ice gone, the birds are able to leave tracks in the sand.

The melting snow caused a higher water level which make a pretty pattern on the beach sand as the runoff flowed around the driftwood.

With the temperature still below freezing today, I rather search for tracks on a sunny beach than tracks left in the snow.

As the Labor Day holiday winds down, today might be the last walk on the beach for some as summer vacations fade out until next year.

The wind has been blowing snow around causing drifts and ripples as it covers objects, but I rather study sand on a beach moving around rocks and driftwood.

Sometimes it is hard to walk in deep loose sand, but at least normally it is warmer when walking on a sandy beach than walking in deep snow in below zero temperatures like today.

When walking a beach, I watch for interesting pieces of driftwood to see what sea monster shapes I can envision in the wood, but some times the creature looking thing is rather small like this little green monster.

With the day starting below freezing, the beaches might be empty of people but there was evidence of some living things out and about by the tracks on the sand.

I saw some turkey tracks in the snow today, but sometimes birds leave other evidence of their passing through an area, like a feather.
