An interesting nugget of driftwood placed in a compositionally pleasing location sitting above the triangle shape formed by the rocks in front and below it.

I imagine the antler/scapula quandary I mentioned yesterday was not of much importance to these folks at the time.

Bare Tree #100
Yachats, Oregon
2023

A milestone of sorts, my 100th bare tree image. But that’s just since I started numbering them. There were many unnumbered bare tree photos before that, including a portfolio of them published in Lenswork magazine way back in 2009. The first numbered bare tree POTD was of trees in China which I posted six years ago. Something tells me I’ll never grow tired of this subject matter. YMMV of course.

In today’s image, I can’t decide if that central hunk of driftwood most resembles a scapula or a moose antler.

The turbulence of the waves crashing over and under this arch rock on the coast create quite a head of foam on the water.

I could have easily included this image in my Little Landscapes collection, as it looks like it could easily be mistaken for swirled and weathered sandstone in some slickrock country canyon.

A late day clearing storm made for some dramatic lighting on Pusch Ridge during the last short hike I took from our rental house before leaving Arizona the end of February.
