Life on a stump series




This is a close-up of the above stump. Kind of weird looking!


















Years ago at the Walker art center someone made some earth art out of different mosses, fungus, and stuff like that. While walking in the woods recently i took some pictures of some interesting old stumps. Some of these are probably from trees we used on our log house 33 years ago.

Looks like some of the bushes offer some red color. Do you have Sumac up there?

Thank you for the beautiful pictures. I like the stump art. I pick fungus and stuff off of trees and it decorates my gardens. I had the privlege of going to Trout Lake camp a few weeks ago. I picked some fungus from there, too! Those of you that haven't been there for many years, it's a fun place to visit. The chapel and mess hall look much the same but there are new cabins called modern housing that even have bathrooms in them. It was a beautiful trip. We had 19 women from our church that went to a retreat called Fall Refreshment.

Some bushes do have red leaves. We have about a half dozen major different trees; spruce, birch, cottonwood, alder and only a few others. No maple or oak, so fall is not as colorful up here as it is outside (a word for the lower 48 states).
