On a recent   photo shoot ,   a   o.k. horticulture contributor turn Dee and I onto this originative , if not distressful , display of beach artistry on the North Fork of Long Island . I was beguiled to sink my feet in the sand and take in the salty , slightly fishy scent of the sound … mmm …   we walk along the   shore in search of   the driftwood garden and then , BAM – there it was – the unmistakable , one of a kind , driftwood   biotic community .   It was rear out of beach treasure and   no limit point of self expression .

We carefully approached and   digitally document every creeptastic angle . Dee courageously enter the hutch and found a scrapbook encased in protective plastic . A note attached quest any and all visitor to point out , sign , and date the script . We alternate through the entries and giggled at the angry feuding neighbor who raged against the “ freak that has disfigure their seaside landscape painting . ” We indulged the creator(s ) , made our contribution , and made our way home – fast !
