The patterns made by rivulets of water over sand are some of my favourite things at the seaside. Sometimes they look like trees, or cloud shapes, or even twisted bits of cloth, but often they remind me of anatomical drawings, or the limbs of the figures in some of William Blake's paintings.
Thews, I think they're called...

Thews, indeed. :-)
My favourites too, and now a new word for them....thews, yes!
I learned a new word today..thews..and your pic made them really look artistic!
I am enthused by these views of thews!
I love to learn new words. And for something so lovely.
Very cool.
Thank you SO MUCH for giving me a name for these.
they are so reminiscent of Blake it's uncanny...
very beautiful, and a new word to me too!
Odd how some of those abstract shapes form themselves into expressions, sometimes animal sometimes,human. Photo number 2 is overwhelming and quite scary.
Do they ever come separated from sinews? Perhaps a pronunciation of that word by someone with a very bad lisp.
Like others I didn't know about this use of the word thews. And the photos are amazing - they look like a mix of photography, paints and drawing.
