Patches of driftwood such as this were anchored along the coast of Cumberland Island, washed ashore as if it were their destiny. Some of the largest I have ever seen. Hope you enjoy and thanks so much for stopping by.

Magnificent!!! The tree itself is wonderful, but I also think you took an absolutely perfect capture of it! Especially the lighting and what it did to the colors. cheers, Quiet

A wonderful shot and quite amazing that parts of the tree are already being buried in the sand. You captured this with a most perfect lighting!

Am I wrong or is this just a great example of how diagonals can work for you. Tree looks like it has tentacles and is walking down the beach. Like the splashes of light on tree and beautiful view of ocean in background. Great photo Eileen.
