Last summer I was on a walk along a beach in Westerly, RI. After walking for about a mile, I came to the end of the point; Napatree Point.  Having a love for unique shells, rocks, sea glass and crystals, I always scan the shore line for great finds.  Well this time I found a special piece of driftwood.  It is in the shape of a heart.  What a great find!

Walking back up the beach, night time was on its way.  At the end of the walk, I looked back toward the point. This was the view:

My GOOD TO KNOW FACT :

When driftwood that contains saltwater is burnt dioxins are released into the atmosphere. Since dioxins are carcinogenic the burning of driftwood gathered from beaches is not recommended.
