Weathered drift wood lies On the rocky beach still quiet Beauty all its own

And driftwood called an artist to Key West... That's the place that Richard Gaige, my former childhood neighbor and artist, painted driftwood in the late 60's. I miss his imaginary fountains and elephant dandruff!. Driftwood always reminds me of him and his kind ways. Lovingly, Dane

Nice picture of an ocean scene. I did attend law school for a year but it was difficult and I really didn't like it. I would have been happier renting a few Mark Twain videos and sitting down eating some Tositios while I watched them. You have an eye for nature's beauty. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Each time we walk the beach, we see the driftwood. It does have a "Beauty all its own," Sara. It also prompts one to think of its origins. Was it part of a sunken vessel, a pier that crashed into the sea during a storm, or a coastal palm that simply succumbed to the water. I love the image in "Weathered." Obviously, I find it very thought-provoking. Great work! Love, Carolyn
