On a Sunny windy morning as I walked along the driftwood piles that adorne our beautiful beach my eye caught this beautiful and unique Braided Bull Kelp. I was a bit confused since the braiding was so intricate so I had to research how it got that way. I asked AI and this is what it said:
That is braided bull kelp (or dried kelp whip/stipe).
When bull kelp washes ashore and begins to dry out, its long, rubbery stipes become flexible and leather-like, making it a classic natural material for beachcombers to braid, weave, or shape before it fully hardens.
I love to take pictures of Seaweed and add whatever I find on the beach to create the following photographs below.
