One of the things that we saw in abundance was animal tracks! It was fun to try and figure out which animals made them. Deer mice make cute tracks. You can count their toes! This photo is a macro shot. The footprints are tiny!

There were some interesting tracks in the dunes. I can't remember if Michael and Anne were able to identify them. I like how there is directionality and purpose in these tracks:

And of course, we left our own tracks in the sand. We came across a lot of garbage on the shoreline. Anne collected it and took it home to dispose of it.
