Description

After any storm, the beach is full of the most amazing things. Huge tree trunks, logs, just about anything. (once my son and a friend of his and I found an old oak chest. I bribed them each a dollar (they were REALLY young and a dollar was BIG!!) to haul it back to the truck, and I still have it, though most of it has finally rotted away. a fun memory in my garden!) This is some part of a madrone tree (madrona in Seattle, don't ask me why!!). It's a most beautiful tree, just as red as you see it here and they grow mostly along the rivers. I just love the twisted, gnarly look this one has.

I thought this was mahogany! I think its that color. If you made furniture out of this it would be very expensive! I like the light a lot, you really caught it like it must have looked without a camera pointed at it. Those colors are nice too; that red is rich. Funny, it reminds me of brandy. It's smooth too, and the best brandy is always smooth.

Holy mackerel, that looks exactly like the imitation crab meat (pollock) that you buy in the supermarket (pun intended)! Otherwise, sterling colors, clarity, lighting effects and textures in this fabulous foto, Maz!

WOW! That wood is almost the color that Polish women dye their hair once they move to Chicago. It's a gorgeous color for wood though, especially when it's natural. I love those patterns that indicate a fibrous structure, and the light is really crisp and clean. This shot rocks. Or as Exeter would say, Thith shot rockth.

This madrone was minding its' own business growing beside it's river when suddenly a torrent came and washed it downstream into the Pacific and here it is!!! Fascinating...
