Tag Archives: driftwood heart

Ken and Martha Fischer were walking at Manchester State Beach when they approached this piece of driftwood. Ken said it looked like the Sphinx.

What do you see? It's fun finding shapes in nature. Here's a driftwood pig that Ed Connolly found.

And a driftwood heart that Craig Tooley used to wish friends a happy Valentine's day.

Thanks to Ken, Ed and Craig for allowing me to share their photos with you here.

Bishop Pines trees are loaded with pollen. Rick touched one gently while we were hiking at Gualala Point Regional Park and look what happened! Can you see the puff of yellow pollen? Our golden retriever, Huckleberry, was watching it too. This pollen affects a lot of people, setting off their allergies. We have a storm coming in Tuesday so that will help knock some of the pollen down...I hope.

While on the bluff trail, we stopped to look for Gray Whales. We saw someone had made a driftwood heart.

At the same viewing spot, this twisted tree shows the affects of the wind.
