    Wandering the beach waiting for the boat to wake up I had time to look for natural sculptures. This old log, pierced with worm holes, had filled itself with pebbles from the beach. Not as dramatic as the larger than life sculptures out on Gibbs farm, it was fascinating enough to warrant more time than more intentionally constructed sculptures. I decided to call it “Rolling Stones on Wood Number 1” by Mother Nature 2014.      Attachments:

    This work was decades in the making. It represents the fanatical grip on life in the face of storm and stakes. It can be called “Spiked, Twisting, Determined” by Mother Nature, 2014.      Attachments:

    The waves have come and gone, retreating back into the sea. Transient evidence of their passing is etched in the beach sand by Merry Nature in her recent work, “Tracks of Fading Waves,” 2014. According to itinerant beach combers, this work illustrates the temporary existence of even the most fundamental of forces. “This too will pass,” was the cursory observation of another beach bum.      Attachments:

    Is it intellect escaped from the prison of a skull or just another washed up sea cucumber? Madame Nature isn’t saying, leaving it to the viewer to interpret in this 2014 sculpture entitled “Disingenuation on Sand.”      Attachments:

    In one of her more active periods, the works of Madame Nature exhibited extreme abstractism in structure. One example from her Miocene epoch (23 to 5 Ma) is casually but dramatically displayed on a beach at the mid-tide line.      Attachments:

    Hey Dan, My old business partner retired to Mataka station - I believe about a mile or 2 from this beach. Hope to get there in a year or 2. Do I need a commercial license to pinch hit for you?

    Only if you're crazy enough to expect fun AND pay, Eric!

    It’s not that I don’t appreciate all the beautiful work done by Mr. Gibbs artists. I do. It’s amazing stuff. It’s just that it can’t come close to matching the natural art all around us. Even when the reality of 'work' intrudes again, it’s all good.      Attachments:

    It’s not a bad day when you can end the day parked on a field of flowers. For an itinerant SeaRey pilot, life is good art.      Attachments:

    You can sit reserve in a crashpad in Newark NJ, or you can sit reserve Dan Nickens-style. <br /><br />You win, Dan.<br />

    It's not really fair, Steve. Any place with 'crash' in its name is likely to be less popular with pilots!
