Default Identifying this bush

This is a bush I want to model, but have no idea what it is. I often seen them near the coasts of the Maritime provinces.

Any clues or help would be much appreciated.

May not be too hard to find, any thing growing close to Salt Water has to be very hardy or the spindrift (wind blown salt water moisture) would destroy it.

Where was the photo taken? A lot of bushes are native only to certain areas.

Cheers

You know the title of this thread leaves alot to the imagination; you wonder if he's asking about one of the previous presidents or their offspring, or a furry item; but then you see foliage and wonder why they have been wandering around the desert on a horse with no name....

I'm still searching on the net. The photo was taken in an inlet in the Bay of Fundy in the Maritimes.
