As Time Passes

It is interesting what you can find in your own yard;  

this is the remains of a rather large tree that fell on our 

barn in the spring a year or so ago, 
it didn't do much damage other than 
breaking a railing and knocking a shingle 
or two out of place.  I cut up what remained 
of the tree and disposed of it and was going 

to cut down this 5 or 6 foot remnant as well, 
but decided not to; it isn't in the way 
and I wanted to watch what happened with 

it over time. What remains of this 
once tall and thriving tree is slowly fading 
back into the earth; bugs, birds, wind, 

rain, hot and cold are all conspiring to reduce what is 

left to mulch.  

The textures and light on this fading tree remnant really 

caught my attention this morning so 

I thought I would share.
