On Saturday we went beach hopping on the North Shore. We found some
really cool ironwood trunks. Ironwood can grow in some
interesting patterns. It ripples, bends, twists and turns.
Here are some examples:
 |
| A wavy trunk with thriving Ironwoods in the background. |
 |
| A close up on a pattern in the wood. |
 |
| The wood where the bark had fallen off. |
 |
| One of the
beaches was scattered with these ironwood pine cones. They had fallen
into the water and been worn smooth by the sand and surf, much like beach glass
is. Tiny bits of shells, stone, and sand had been caught and imbedded in
the gaps. |
