Tree sap wells on a fallen rotting branch. These holes were probably created by a Red-breasted Sapsucker, who uses them for nourishment.
Ferns growing out of the moss-covered trunk of a big leaf maple tree.
Skunk cabbage and other fallen leaves decomposing in standing water to help nourish next year’s forest growth.
Fallen oak leaves scattered with the fir needles to make room for next year’s growth.
Photographer Doug Parrott notes that fall is his favorite season. “I do love the colors, cool mornings and the bird migration. I took a walk-through Yost Park the other day and chose to look for, and photograph more intimate aspects of the changing season. I also applied an impressionistic treatment to the photos that makes them look more ethereal as mother nature prepares the earth for a new growing season.”
Lovely pics of the fall season. Thanks for sharing!
