Inchydoney Bifurcation

The tide was neither out nor in and I’m not sure which way the water moved. But the evidence of its daily movement, in and out is clearly evident.

It you were unaware of the aerial perspective you might imagine a leaf rotting in the mud or a fallen tree long after being felled. It’s the little ripples that give away the true story as they cut perpendicular to the ebb or flow.

I wonder what comes first? Is the bifurcation of paths on the rising tide as the water seeks the lowest path to high ground or the merging of rivulets finding their way back out to sea.
