Forests Are the Lungs of Our Land

A nation that destroys
its soils destroys itself.
Forests are the lungs of our land,
purifying the air and giving
fresh strength to our people.
...Franklin D. Roosevelt

I found it interesting the way this fallen tree was still holding a large rock in its roots. It didn't want to let go...

Even though the fallen tree is dead it is still providing a home for wildlife

Such a giant lying on the forest floor - love the blue and greens as the trees meet the sky !

yes that is fascinating. The fallen tree looks so big and it seems there are a few others around too.

Great composition and details. Great narrative.

Great textures...WA State where I live has abysmal Forest Management polices which has hurt many of WA's forests.
