Gnarly Tree Trunk.
G.
A colorful tree stump sprouts new branches and leaves, symbolizing renewal and growth. Fungi are visible on the stump, as is some ivy, adding texture and interest.

My photo from 2019 shows a #treetrunk in the #Berlin #winter, which has not fallen off all its dried #autumnleaves. In autumn, many #deciduous #trees cork the xylem connections of their leaves so that they do not evaporate more water than the tree can absorb through its roots. The #withered #fallenleaves serve as a #microhabitat for specialized #decomposing #soilorganisms. If old leaves remain on the tree, the organisms there will begin #decomposition processes.

A view looking up at tall trees in a forest, with sunlight filtering through the leaves and branches above. The textured bark of the trees is visible, surrounded by greenery.

We haven't had any significant rain for weeks. Today, we just heard thunder and about 1,000 drops. I thought it was over but I caught this pretty scene with the evening sun, in Georgia, USA.

Sunlight filters through the trees in a dense forest on Yufudake, with a litter of fallen leaves covering the ground.

As the leaves fall, the moss awakens. #mosstodon #FallColors #TreeTrunk

I saw this huge Douglas fir tree trunk on our way back to parking spot.
When I first saw it - shouted out - LOOK AT THAT! They are WOOD SHORTS!
Then, my friend took a pic of me with the big wood shorts.

"The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky."
