nature doesn't live forever
its mortal, just like we
there can be beauty in its remains,
dignity
food for thought
images to capture
now i don't mean to be depressing
disheartening
dispirited
or discouraging
that wasn't my intention
this stump caught my eye though
its been here longer than i have
i've walked or driven past it hundreds of times
never gave it a second glance
just now, on my way to a different mindset of photos
i passed it, had to climb through the bush over and around it
and i thought
hhmmmm
What I love about this series of photos is that it shows the disintegration of life; how the stump reconnects to the earth. Look at the beautiful shape it forms. Magnificent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to highlight nature's fragility. Yes, the tree was old and had served it's living "purpose," but it's so sad to see the old trees go. I do take comfort in the continued life it has in it's decomposition stage. A purpose for everything under Heaven....
ReplyDeleteYes this is what taking pictures is all about. Seeing things in a different way. And isn't it wonderful. I'm glewed on my lens it seems.
ReplyDeleteTaking photographs makes you notice so much more - I think you become very connected with nature - and I have found that such a blessing.
