Driftwood at Old Woman Bay

Not really sure why the bay where this picture was taken is called Old Woman Bay, but it was a spot we were told t look out for as we traveled along the Trans Canada Highway. It was good advice and a welcome break in the journey. There a few people enjoying the sunny weather and others canoeing in the bay but what caught my eye more than anything was the driftwood.
I really liked this view of the tree laid on the beach. The gnarled roots because they create interesting shapes.  I had considered calling the blog Roots of Canada, but that would be free advertising so I didn't.

Something Creepy

So the title of today's post might have made you think my choice of pictures would be of spiders or some creepy mini-beast. However you will have seen that its actually creeping plants.  I really like the gnarly shapes and forms but these creepers were strangling the life out of their host trees.

I think these shots work well in black and white and I really like the second of today's photos. I have rotated the picture through 90 degrees and i think it creates a very strong image
