I was beachcombing on Vashon Island a few weekends ago, and in addition to the rocks and driftwood, there was this:
Not a bad piece of wood --I would normally use it for a project -- but on closer inspection...
It's the Growth Post from someone's home! Now I'm curious how it ended up on the beach. So I'm posting these close-ups. If it's yours, or you recognize the family...
