On the beach in front of Ocean Village Resort in Tofino, British Columbia I was mesmerized by these amazing “forests” in the sand that the wave action placed there. Truly unbelievable! Harvey told me that these are fractals, whatever that means. I remember seeing something about this on the Discovery Channel last year.
All I know is that God is a magnificent Creator who allows nature to provide amazing paintings in the sand. I took hundreds of photos of these fractal forests with my i-phone in a couple of hours. The waves kept incising them in the sand and I kept photographing them. Waves in and out and a fractal forest appears. A wave comes again and erases that forest and draws another. James over the years has collected lots of fossils and that is what these fractal forests look like to me.
Thank you God for nature and science and beauty. You are The Amazing Artist. If God cares enough to sculpt a fantastic fractal forest in the sand that lasts for a few short minutes, then think about how much God cares about each of us and desires to create something beautiful in our lives.
Be amazed at God’s handiwork. Let the Spirit of the Creator God make something beautiful of your life. You are God’s magnificent creation!
