Boneyard

There are a few places I like to photograph simply because they are so intriguing.

One such place I call the Boneyard. It’s a small beach area in Walton County Florida, on the leeward side of Choctawhatchee Bay. Its actual name is Bay Flats.

Along this stretch of beach, sun-bleached and water-smoothed tree trunks lay at odd angles, literally pulled out of the ground. Or else, their roots, like fingers dug into the sand, refuse to yield to the wind and waves.

Left where they landed after a storm, the elements have worked on them until they all resemble the wasted bones of some great extinct beast. What nature didn’t transform, fire has.

  1. What an amazing place to visit. Your photos are fantastic. I can’t decide if they are stunning or eerie or both at the same time.

  2. I definitely see the attraction. Reminds me of scouring the beaches here in Jersey, looking for drift wood, with my dad. He’d bring them home and make some really awesome lamps. We really should have saved some, before their move. Nice shots, as usual, Momma!
