When we were at Beverly Beach over Labor Day weekend, Elizabeth had an awesome time using a stick (or finger) as a pencil and having the whole beach as her canvas. She had more of a knack for drawing in sand than I did. Her creations (mostly figures of Nancy Drew and her friends Bess, George, and Ned) were loopy, elaborate and reminiscent (to my uneducated eye) of Aztec or Pacific Northwest native art.
In any event, they were fun to make and fun to look at.

| An early work -- Nancy Drew, I believe. |

| This was a collaboration between Daddy and Elizabeth. I did the large spiral and she kept adding the sub-spirals. Given more time, this thing would have eventually taken over the entire beach. |
