Dead tree

In a clearing I found this dead tree and liked how it appeared in front of the darker forest. The flowers dancing in the foreground are Filipendula ulmaria. They contain acetylsalicylic acid and are said to cure headaches and flue.

Salicylic acid is aspirin. Isn't it wonderful that it comes from nature? Nice shot of these dramatic branches.

@casablanca Aspirin it is but seldom used in Sweden anymore. Thank you for the comment on the shot.

@blueberry1222 Thank you Krista.

The flowers make great use of the fact that the old tree has no leaves. Lovely shot.
