ALOHA !
Every morning,
the sand is beautifully prepared
for the day!
It's fun to walk on. . .
It doesn't stay that way for long. . .
In fact, it quickly gets interesting . . .
But who is this early Zen artist?
Ah! The Barber Surf Rake!
I like to call it the "Sand-Boni."
See more about it HERE
Zamboni info HERE
What a beauty!
The birds LOVE it!

Enjoy YOUR day! warmly, cloudia
I didn't know seaweed naturally came onto the beach (and could be smelly,) until I was told about the sand-boni. I must've thought the ocean made the nice smooth beach with it's waves when people were sleeping....DrumMajor
ReplyDeleteSo utterly calming, beautiful.
ReplyDeletesunrise, sitting facing the sea on this beautiful zen garden, and the birds adding their own caligraphy. Meditation. Ah, you truly live in Paradise.
Now I'm going back to read about sand-boni.

Love those Zamboni smoothers. That was a favorite part of the Jersey Devils hockey games I enjoyed the most. Watching the Zamboni - sure woulda liked to drive one.
ReplyDeleteLooks artistic
ReplyDeleteI love that sand-boni! Must be a wonderful job being out there early and making those marks.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post Claudia...it is a little like that here in the winter only the wind and clouds are our "snowboni" and our dog and forest creatures create the textured printing:-)
ReplyDeletethank you so much for all of your kind messages, it means so much to hear from blogging friends even when I'm too tired to write back.

This is one of my all time favourites of your posts. Love the raked sand, love the gradual increase in prints by a variety of beings. Mega thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove those bird tracks and the term sand-boni. :)
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures of the tracks in the sand - human, machine and wildlife. When we visit Virginia Beach in October we always see the machine that rakes the sand. I will always think of it as the sand-boni from now on :) Have a great week Cloudia.
ReplyDeleteThis was a whimsical post, Cloudia. Loved the photos of the sand-art.
ReplyDeleteThe sand tracks are amazing, very good captures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating sand! Very interesting images, Cloudia!

ReplyDeleteWhen I get the chance, damn rare this summer, I like to walk my favorite beach, Pawleys Island, South Carolina, and look at the grooves in the out-going tide carved in the sand.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!
I love the beach in the morning
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
ReplyDeleteThe various phases and faces of the sand.
Kudos to the observation and eye for detail.

Lovely morning smiling sand..tQ for showing the "Sand-Boni". Just a thought could this be one of the 'culprit' in some fake crop cycle? haha.
