Beginning of sharing some older posts when I am not at my desk some of the time.

The footprints are remarkable.
ReplyDeleteYes, simply amazing to see where some people walked so many centuries before us. No roads, no shoes, just being humans. Walking hunting, gathering, sleeping, eating, doing all the necessary things for life!
Delete...keep your mind working!
ReplyDeleteJust added a fruit smoothy to my diet each day...so much more enjoyable than ice cream.
DeleteWow, the footprints are amazing. Great photos.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a wonderful week!
I agree completely. When I work on my ancestry, I realize how we're all connected.
DeleteThank you for sharing. You're always interesting and thoughtful ideas with us. Actually my husband is needing more and more care which really prevents me from visiting my blog friends everyday as I wish I could. Thanks for hanging in there with me as I hang in there with you in this caregiving life. In fact, I call my substock the caregiver Poet. I can't get out anyway as I'd like sometimes, but visiting your blog is like a nice companionable visit which I appreciate, Barbara Aloha
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know where your attention needs to be at this time. I understand. My efforts are to read read read...and sometimes go places. The reading is to try to untangle some of the errors in my family tree.
DeleteThose footprints are fabulous. Hard to believe how long ago they were left.
ReplyDeleteI've seen dinosaur footprints too, but somehow human ones are more breathtaking to see (not in person though.)
DeleteAmazing footprints, nice to see them.
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder what kind of things I might be leaving for thousands of years from now. Our dumps will be such interesting sources of information for archaeologists in the future.
DeleteSo breathtaking to consider those footprints.
ReplyDeleteYes they are certainly!
