 I found one or more wee orange caterpillar insects making these fascinating sand tracks. Patterns were abstract and floral, never crossed each other and wove around sculpture in the sand. Wish I knew the name of the insect!

I like it with it's zen appeal. The shadowed curves add a lot to the image. The focus seems to be a little soft.

Beautiful shapes. Might have benefited from some tweaking with contrast.
