Driftwood

The theme for this week's PicStory is Wood. The photo above was taken several years ago on a trip to the southern Oregon coast. We were a little off the beaten path and discovered this rather large piece of driftwood. That's my stepdaughter climbing over the piece.

Visit PicStory and Freda's Tuesday Takes to see more.

That's a real interesting sculpture of nature and a wonderful composition Judy.
Beautiful reflection in the water too.

It looks like an elephant with 2 babies. It's striking and amazing. A very good perspective and a great shot too.

Having your stepdaughter in the photo really shows the size of that driftwood! Wow! That's a beauty! And of course, your step daughter is a cutie, too!

Sandra said...

well your driftwood is much bigger than ours here. plus it is a lot of WOOD so it fits well. step daughter gives a good perspective on the size of it.

That is a photo to hang on the wall. But your header, wow!!! A macro world. Do you know what the cute little bug is?

that looks to be a tree, drifting perhaps for centuries (?) along the waters of Washington state. What a cool capture!

Sharon Wagner said...

Very gnarly. And your new header was a surprise!

labbie1 said...

That gives such a wonderful texture to the picture! That is HUGE! BTW, I am not sure what that bug is on your header, but it is kinda giving me the creeps! Ack!

Quite a photo, and the tree is odd for having survived all that water. Wonder how long it has been there?
