This weekends weather was perfect for a picnic at Huntington Beach State Park followed by a walk on the beach
Beach access From the picnic area the beach is accessed via is an easy stroll through the maritime forest and across the dunes on a well maintain board walk.
It always surprises me how most of the beach goers park themselves as close as possible to the boardwalk ( The yellow flag indicates the boardwalk).
While starting at fifty feet away the from the board walk, the beach is virtually empty.
Needless to say Bruce and I automatically head for the less populated portion of the beach, where our explorations led us to some lovely discoveries, like this shell tree.
Shell trees are a popular form of group folk art here in South Carolina. First some one hangs a few shells on a limb or two of one of the skeletal remnants of the maritime forest, the next person who comes along adds a few more shells, Eventually the tree is festooned all over with shells. It's quite pretty and somehow fitting in this space between land and sea.
