Where did he go?

JJ (@JolietJake) wrote recently about tracks in the snow going through his yard and out again. He was also able to tell that the owner of the tracks fell down at some stage. MorleyHunt (@Morleyhunt) commented that she and grand-daughter had fun walking the length of the drive then walking backwards all the way home again making four sets of tracks going and none returning. Claire Raymond (@Clairelouiser) also has fun making different tracks by hopping or somesuch. On one of our visits to a beach Vince walked to the edge of the water then trod backwards in his tracks. Do you like creating unusual footsteps? I sometimes walk pigeon-toed or splay-footed just to make something different in the footprint world.

@judyev The beach always seems to bring out the inner child!! We just can't help it.

That's true for most but for me, well, the sand gets in everything. :)

What an interesting idea. Copy the tracks people make and put it in a post. What is interesting about snow is the track changes with time. I had a squirrel jump out of the tree to cross the yard to another tree and after a while it looked like human footprint.

@JudyEv well sand kind of does it too? It starts out with nice smooth edges but can look larger than what the original really was?

@Bluedoll Yes, I guess that's true.

I've never seen snow so I'll just take your word for it. :)

I love photos of footprints in the sand .. I once took a photo of a dog's paw prints on the sand and wondered where it led to because there were only three paw prints as if someone invisible picked up the dog so it didn't leave any more prints...

Maybe it was a 3-legged dog.

I don't do things like that, I'm confused enough myself don't want to cause turmoil for others.

@JudyEv People are confused enough, they can't tell good from bad any more.

Haha. Love it. Why not confuse everybody? Better than being the only one maybe.

I never really thought about doing that, but now it seems like a fun idea

Did you ever read Phantom comics? I'm sure he used to ride to somewhere then his very clever horse would walk backwards precisely in its own footprints so it would seem like they disappeared into nowhere.

He's got a long stride. I wouldn't try that in snow, I'd probably fall. Sand on a beach might be interesting, but no, I've never done it.

@JudyEv I think it would be difficult because there is the risk of slipping and falling.

I don't know how I'd go on snow. I can't really imagine it.

You will have to try it next time you go to the beach Anna.

That is really neat! I love the ocean and taking pictures at the beach. I will have to try that.

You know that I make unusual footsteps in the snow. That certainly wasn't the first time I participated in that kind of silliness.

It's fun though isn't it? And we all could do with plenty of fun in our lives.

No beach here, and when I'm in the snow I kind of trudge more than I walk!

No snow here and the beach is a fair way away but we get there from time to time. Colorado is a long way from any coast isn't it?

@JudyEv - Yes, we are pretty far inland. Utah, Nevada, and California all stand between us and the Pacific Ocean.

From that picture, it looks as though someone walked into the sea and disappeared.

That's what he was trying to show - that someone just walked to the shore and kept on going out to sea.
