Thanks, fandango. I wish I knew about the tracks. I'm guessing the smaller ones are either a beetle of some kind or a small lizard, judging by the "drag mark" between the rows of footprints. Could be a lizard tail or the back end of a beetle dragging. No idea about the bigger ones. They look almost like fox.

The smaller ones are made by a stinkbug. They had a film on it at the visitor center in Death Valley. It drags it's abdomen on the sand giving the impression it may be a lizard's tail. Lizard's foot prints are further apart.

The large one looks mammalian. The spacing doesn't look like a rabbit's. Fox or coyote seems right to me.

North of Todos Santos someplace. I think that is the town in the distance.

I don't have anything that can compare to what has been posted.

The only high tide photos that I could come up with at the moment are;

A Sperm Whale


Other whale bones



And this lovely big fish

Paulina,

Don't know why, but I like your fish picture---really tells a story.

This is from your neck of the woods.

Diane,

I remember seeing that blue boat nose. Your photo is literally right in my neck of the woods, just down the beach by a few footsteps, I think.
