Drift Wood ~ Nature's Abstract Art

Naure as Curator and Artist in Residence:

The beaches of the Sound of strewn with drift wood.  On this quiet Sunday afternoon, observing the large trees and the bits of branches lying on the beach, I was struck how beautiful the abstract pieces are ~ even at the end of a trees life cycle it is indeed a 'thing of beauty'..

Every tree has its own tale.  I wonder in which forest did it reach maturity;  what storm brought it down, how long did it float before coming to rest in this spot?  A silent story.

The careless hand of nature's sculptor at work...
