If the birds haven’t headed south already, today they would be leaving prints in snow instead of sand.

I remember as a kid, drawing large circles using a nail, string and pencil. But if you didn’t hold the pencil straight, the circle may not have been perfect. Mother Nature has a bent stem of grass creating a circle when the wind blows.

Today would have been a nice summer day to take a walk on a beach and feel the sand beneath your feet as you listen to the waves rolling in.

This piece of wood looks as washed out after the rains as some of flowers and critters and I know they are looking forward to some sunshine.

The shiny, sparkly glare from the water and ripply ridges of sand under the water surface is a better scene than the glare from ice and bumpy waves of snow covering the ground I saw today.

You sometimes hear the term ‘sands of time’, an English idiom relating the passage of time to the sand in an hourglass and that time is a finite commodity which is gradually running out.
The phase ‘Footprints on the sands of time’ was used in a poem called A Psalm of Life by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time
On a calm day, your footprints in the sand might last a while but on a stormy day, the next wave erases all evidence of your passage on the beach.

You could leave footprints outside today but your feet might get cold walking through snow. I much rather walk on a warm sunny beach than shoveling snow.
