New Stump

On one of my walks,

I found a tree which had recently been cut down,

and examined the details closely.

I am linking this post with Nature Footstep Abstract
and with Zoom in Zoom Out.

Trees In The Air

Another example of a tree that started growing on top of a stump, only to have the stump rot out from under it.

I find it odd to be able to see amongst the roots of the tree.

Trees in the Air

In April, shortly before the flower season started, I took a series of photos of trees which had started growing on top of a stump from a former tree, and then proceededto strengthen their roots so they are above ground level.

Someone posted a similar photo, but her tree had grown to fill in the space between the trunk and the ground.

Obviously, these have not. I think they look very strange.
