Driftwood


During an August road trip and a stop at a park on Lake Superior,  I saw these large pieces of driftwood. It won't be long now before this kind of scenery will be a thing of the past because of winter snow and ice. Oh, dear!!

  1. You should go back in the dead of winter and get the same picture, lol. That driftwood would make a nice art piece.

  2. I saw a car just yesterday with a big piece of driftwood strapped to the top of it.I think they were probably going to put it in their garden. I think you are correct about snow and ice being on the way.

    1. Nope, not this year because we have to oversee chimney/ fireplace repairs and floor tiles/sump pump installation that cannot be scheduled until winter. Sad, home-ownership is not always pleasant. Compensating for our anticipated frigid winter experiences we have scheduled a summer trip to Ireland!

  7. I wonder if the driftwood will still be there next summer. Beaches have a way of changing how they look in a very short time.

  8. My friend in California has a beautiful glass-topped table (base is driftwood) and I love it....

  9. I'm a big fan of driftwood. Like you I take photos and leave the driftwood on the shore for others to enjoy. Neat photos.

  11. N-o-o-o-o-o! I don't want to think about winter yet (and ours barely holds a candle to yours; I'm just a wimp).
    But, Ireland in summer! That's something to really look forward to!

  12. No Santa Fe this winter? That is too bad. But, I suppose you have had a lifetime of cold to become accustomed to a northern winter.
