Today I saw the most beautiful art on the beach.  Birds and wildlife made out of driftwood.  Over a dozen sculptures.

Here's a bit about the artist. From armed robbery to sculpting birds: A life changed by art

And here is my second favourite sculpture.

I couldn't find a sign for these two geese.  But I suspect that they are also by Paul Lewis.

A closeup shot of the Heron.

There are over a dozen of these sculptures along the spit at Esquimalt Lagoon, near Victoria BC, Canada.

It's that time of year again.  There is usually some art from natural materials in town somewhere.  I sure would like to find some more like this.
