The Arburtus tree is one of my favourites.  It is said to be the
tree of knowledge.  It sheds it red bark every spring and reveals
it's soft smooth woody flesh that is great for making things with.

There are two wolf packs on the island that frequent the beach
near the house I live in.  I haven't seen them but hear them at night often

The beaches of the Northern Islands are covered with driftwood.
Many people collect it for building their houses with as well as
for decorative art

This is very cool.  It's the same driftwood I was
