Washed Up River Junk

Shipworm

An attempt to get back into the swing of things after work and winter brought things to a grinding halt in January. Winter weather is still with us, even though it's technically spring by the calendar, but I've got a week off from work to jump-start the engines. Walk along the river today at low tide. This is a piece of wood landscaped by what I believe are shipworms, which are apparently actually a type of clam.

Foam Hills

And this is a close-up of one of several pieces of black foam padding, it appears, that washed up or were discarded in place - hard to imagine why they would be clustered together in one place like that, but they were in various states of decay.

  4. Hello Mike. I really like the second image of foam packing. I appreciate three dimensional patterns in a repetitive formation. The shadows give nice detail to the form.
