Description
A nurturing tree appears to be embracing the sun just after sunrise at Driftwood Beach, Jekyll Island, Georgia.
Driftwood Beach is on the northern end of Jekyll Island, one of Georgia's Golden Isles, and is a picturesque place featuring numerous driftwood trees and parts of trees. This "scene from another world" was created by years of erosion that caused trees of a marine forest to topple into the salt water of the Atlantic ocean and die. While it is a form of marine debris, or tidewrack, is can also be quite beautiful and even mysterious. The salinity of the ocean water tends to preserve the trees for many decades - if not longer.

A very feels like summer good day to relax on the beach. I like how the sun appears to be resting in the nook of the tree branches. Congrats on your POD Feature in The Great Puzzle Designs Group!
