…avorite discoveries while walking on the beach near Prairie Creek, California in the Redwoods. I found this old tree on the beach that seemed to be some kind of driftwood. The mosses and other oddities found on the wood was fascinating to me. I spent a good 45 minutes photographing the wood with my 65mm macro lens.This was focus stacked, and yes, I know it’s not perfect, but that’s all good with me!

Hi Matt! Congratulations on the Year End Editor’s Pick. Its always enjoyable to find a subject that you just have to photograph over and over. All of those blues are really something.
