Wind Pottery

We were in Newport to watch my oldest son run a half marathon this weekend. This morning on the beach, I found a sight I have never seen before...rows and rows of formations from the wind. Some looked just like space ships, others were spinning tops, mushrooms, pottery. It was quite a sight!!! and my son was first in his division! a fun weekend with my son, his wife and my two oldest grandkids. oh and my husband too!

It's a DQ ice cream cone in sand!

[Chris Johnson]

So cool and love the texture of the sand!

[Vicki Dixon]

@aglennc it was Agate Beach...I am pretty sure that once that upper sand is dried out from the winter, they will all be gone. Something I have never seen before. At first I thought it was sandcastles left behind by some kids...very busy kids to make so many! but up close I was amazed at their beauty. nature is so awesome

[Vicki Dixon]

@cocobella WOW, so true about Tony Craggs work! I wonder if he has seen these natural creations for his inspiration. Thanks for the link!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

I just showed my husband this and he said "that's some wacky s@$€!" Lol! How can wind do this? Wow

[Vicki Dixon]

@espyetta yep, that is what my husband said when I got back from my walk and showed him the shots! He had to go out and see them for himself. I took a zillion shots of them

[Catherine W.]

So cool you captured them before they are gone! Maybe once in a lifetime sighting!

[Shawn Kenwright]
