Have you ever found yourself taking a photo of an object, simply because its shape, color or some other aspect of it intrigued you? I certainly have and every now and then I look at these photos again and still see something interesting in them. Let’s see how many of these I can collect for Tuesday Teasers…

Meigs’ Dragon

While exploring the lovely area of Meigs Point in southern Connecticut, I came across a piece of driftwood with a shape that caught my eye. What stood out is that it worked its way up toward the sky, which provided a backdrop for this almost living form… With a bit of playing around, I created this composition where there is a reach towards the heavens, as the creature attempts to rise above the dunes.

Who knows what this driftwood is really trying to achieve? What do you think?

    1. I like your observation of the longing that persists in wood that has drifted from its origin!

  2. This makes me think of a serpent looking out for something., watching something that has caught its eye.
    I brought back a piece of delicate driftwood from NZ. It’s like lace and beautiful. I still have it.

    1. Interesting view, as I thought about the wise dragon reaching out to the sky.

      Driftwood has incredible stories and structure.

      1. Dragons are large serpents though, yes?
        So agree with you about driftwood.

      2. They are indeed!!
