A Walk In the Woods

fallen, rotting tree a short pause to sit and think what was in this exact spot one million years past? my dog whines impatiently as if he already knows...

I love this, you captured a moment in time beautifully. I know such a tree, and when I walk in that place I always check on it, check how much more it has decayed, my friend and I named it Hairy, cause it has just a few sprouts at the top, I wonder how Hairy is doing..
