Small things amuse small minds

I had to take the photo above. I’ve seen similar patterns in the dirt many times and always marvel at time. Well, you know what they say – small things amuse small minds. 
The upper part of the photo is a rock which meets the sand at a right angle. A small weed has grown up at the base of the rock, has died and fallen over. It’s been swept back and forth in the wind to create the circular marks on the ground. Fascinating, don’t you think?

@wolfgirl569 I don't know why because it's perfectly logical but look how exact the circles are? They could have been drawn with a compass. lol

That is quite amazing. When I first looked, I thought a trash can had been placed there.

@Ineeddentures I don't necessarily think about it. It's just stuff that catches my eye - and look at the perfect circle it makes just with a piece of grass blowing back and forth.

I don't actually think I have ever even thought about stuff like that
I'm not sure if I will.

Yes, it is fascinating! There was a place in Teddy Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota where the wind blew on one side of the area but not the other. As a result, the soil was rocky on the side without much wind and smooth as sand on the side that got the wind. The walls of the slopes were different, too, all in the space of a couple of feet!

It's surprising what is out there if you keep your eyes open.
