Footprints In The Sand
Uploaded: August 26, 2012 02:52:32 | Entered: September 15, 2016 03:20:11
I found these footprints (Human and Raccoon) just as you see them here along the shoreline of the creek. I saw lots of different animal footprints on this particular day (Deer, Coyote, Raccoon, various birds etc). With the hot Summer they all have been coming to creek during the night for a drink.

You came across a real gem here Jeff. This is so interesting with the human foot print and the print of the racoon. I love hoy you were able to bring the prints out so vividly. The texture of the sand adds to the look. I hope we see it again my friend. #10290504Antonio Amen August 26, 2012

Cool find Jeff, love how the raccoon's is so close to the human's print. #10290652Michelle Alton August 26, 2012
Definitely very cool Jeff. But why do they look raised instead of impressed in the sand? Or is that an illusion?#10290657

At first sight I thought you discovered the missing link tracks of the infamous BIRDMAN...But now I see you have discovered RACCOONMAN. WOW! :DOkay, okay...so what if I read the rest of it?...It was fun to dream. :)))
Do you know Mary Robison? SHE just discovered BIG FOOT! YES!!! It's TRUE! It's in her gallery as we speak!!!
Really cool image, Jeff, and I hope the judges love it as much as we do!
