Look what Washed Up

After the big storm, I walked the beach (it sure looks different) and came across this old rusty rake head partially buried in the sand.

The wooden tree that I thought was gone only fell over the log it had been attached to. I think it might need a few repairs but it should be salvagable. There's definitely lots of wood at my disposable!! Thanks for your concern and comments on yesterday's collage.

Is it a calm rake or a garden rake?

[Joan Robillard]

Oh clam not calm

[Maggiemae]

Been around a long time and the seawater has left its patina!

[KWind]

@joansmor I think it is just an ordinary garden rake.

[Babs]

Interesting find. Glad your wooden tree art can be salvaged. It would be sad to see that go.

Beautifully captured- it reminded me at first of the artifacts I saw at the Viking exhibition- the ocean sure does age artifacts quickly!

Some of my favorite tones right here! Perfect composition too. Glad the tree is salvaged, but must be odd for the beach to look so different.
