The Ruins of the Moment: Driftwood roots

05 August 2009

Driftwood Cove, November 2007. I couldn't escape the feeling this could have been some tentacled monster, cast up from the deep.

Anne-Marie said...: Ooh yes, this makes me shiver! Wouldn't it be interesting to know this wood's story. What kind of wood is it, where did come from, how old is it, etc ... ?

I'd love to be at Driftwood Cover right now.; 5 August 2009 at 18:04
Barbara Butler McCoy said...: The color in this is exquisite - and I am always thrilled at the sense of sound your photos evoke. This brings back a lot of memories, too, of all the driftwood I'd see along the shores of the Puget Sound. Wow.; 5 August 2009 at 23:37

Barbara Butler McCoy said...: Oh no ... It just hit me ... intestines, sound ... it is funny, but not the 'sound' I meant;); 6 August 2009 at 03:10

Barbara, thanks. I guess there are many people who've never seen the sea, and even more who can't associate a photo like this with personal memories. We're lucky, I think. And yes, maybe I should have called it "Borborygmus" :^)

Thanks Zhoen. I think ;^D; 6 August 2009 at 16:04
