    I see the Y! Very coooool David….this would make a funky tattoo design hehe ;) So seriously….what is this?! Is it really worm forms, and please don’t laugh! Either way, it makes for an interesting image!

  • David Murphy replied

    Yeah, it Really IS a series of wormcasts…....there were hundreds of them on the beach this morning…...i just looked around till I found an interesting one, or three! They push the sand out of their sandholes, and they sometimes come out in patterns, like this.
    Thats as good as i can explain….lol!!!
