Drifting

Posted by Viewfinder (Bradenton, FL, United States) on 17 October 2007 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

A small piece of driftwood we brought to our garden and set atop some of the mulch, to add some fill and interest to an empty spot. And look -- it's still wearing a bit of its coating of beach sand!

Oh, and before I forget: Thanks to the Am3 community for your friendship, encouragement, and for sharing your own amazing photo talent. We all grow together. Blessings!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.

@amy: So many of the best photos we can take are out there, right in the middle of the unnoticed "ordinary" things all around us. Thank you for seeing beauty in my little photo of mere garden debris.

Rabbit from Richmond, United States

So how far away do you live away from Richmond VA? I bet i could teach you how to throw on the wheel. I taught my dad - - in his first lesson he did very well and had a piece to keep ;D

The colors are so nice in this photo.

17 Oct 2007 3:00pm

@Rabbit: Well Rabbit, I live in Bradenton, FL, so that's a far piece from Richmond. But thanks for the offer; if I ever take you up on it, I'll leave the scary balloons at home. Heh.

Lost Valley View from Kamloops, Canada

Good Morning To You VF! I am a huge fan of driftwood and have a image of driftwood coming up in the next few weeks. I really like softness of this and the detail of the wood. Great find!!

@Lost Valley View: So glad I provided a photo of something you enjoy (driftwood). I have a pile of old driftwood shots I took in Jacksonville, FL a couple of years ago. I'll unleash a few from the archives one day just for you.
