Photo taken at a place in GA called Driftwood Beach. In reality it is the result of coastal erosion
up rooting these amazing trees. Not sure how long they have been there. It is a major
attraction and beautiful despite the source of these 'driftwoods'.
For Black and White Weekend.

    Hi Carol,
    The photographs of the driftwood and the bridge at Jekyll Island definitely are very artistic and beautiful! I have never seen people using a wheeled contraption for sailing before, or may be I have, in South Padre, TX.
    Beautiful composition on all photos - well done!
    Have a Beautiful Day!!
    Peace :)

    PS. Honk when you go past our home in Atlanta :)

    Oh those kite-powered buggies have become a bit of a hit here - not that there so many long sandy beaches in Scotland! Love the shots of the pier.... and AMD (Zoe) is ever photogenic. Hugs, YAM xx

    Carol, thanks for your pictures today of the beach. The driftwood is artistic in its natural form. We have a couple of pieces we use in the yard that make me smile.

    I love driftwood. A friend bought two for me online (I never thought one could buy driftwood online!). Kite flying with a motorized buggy looks so much fun. Ms Zoe appears to be captivated by something! Have a nice week Carol.

    'Windy Night in Georgia'. Here I always remembered 'Rainy Night.'
    Looks like Ms. Zoe likes the beach and the wind. Is she Ms. Art's sister?
    Oh yes, is the beach water in GA is warm enough for swimming?

    There's a park in Steveston, near Vancouver in British Columbia. It isn't huge, but people go there to fly kites and even run kite buggies. They are fun to watch. - Margy
