This is a 21st century type of lobster pot washed ashore by a storm and now resting on the beach.
It caught my eye because of the angles, the colors and the beauty.

    There used to be a sandbar at a beach close to us when we lived in Florida and I loved it because the kids would feel like we were 'way out there' but it was still shallow enough for them to enjoy. :)

    Have a great week!

    I love the New England Fall colors ... your picture of the ship on the water with the colors in the background looks like it should be on a card or in a frame. Beautiful work for MOM.

    Carol,
    My Uncle makes birdhouses out of old barn wood. They are really neat and fun. I need to get him to make one for me.
    I love the last picture. The fall colors behind the sail boat are beautiful.
