Forest – Eskildoodle Photos and Feelings

Levitation

Boobytraps abound in the delightful, tranquil-appearing forest, so beware: Lurking limbs may be suspended overhead just waiting for the right moment to break loose from the weak vines still holding them and crash onto the ground or whatever is below.

The interior of the scar is full of insect burrows. Perhaps a hungry bear found a termite hoard and excavated the nest; they areContinue reading “Bear Tree?”
