the Fallen

DSC08341.jpeg

Here is a shout out to the Fallen. Fallen dead trees that is. In every ecosystem there is life, death, and regeneration. This is just how nature “rolls”. There is certainly beauty in every step of the process. If you have followed me for awhile, then you know that I love photographing fallen trees (living ones too, as you know). I wonder how long it takes for a fallen one to decompose in the water? After doing a quick bit of research, apparently a lot factors come into play like water temperature and type of tree (Oak trees apparently last the longest). The colder the water the longer they take to decompose. Ok, that’s your science lesson for today. Thanks for stopping by.

Yeah, I guess in hot water it takes less time... I like fallen trees too, because there is a story behind that fall, why did it happen? What caused it? It makes me curious

I tagged you on my mountain photos btw

Yes, checked it out.

Interesting right, I'm thinking the trees which take root at lakeside are the most vulnerable.

Thanks for that!

It's nice to know about your fascination on such a topic!! Interesting one!

Just things that make you wonder about. Nature is interesting.

Seeing a fallen tree in the water like this reminds me of the Turtle Bridge you shared earlier. The place you visited looks so peaceful, with crystal clear water and dense forest.

Yes, and I have more turtle bridge photos coming up tomorrow actually. The ones I showed last year were taken with my Huawei, these new ones are going to be higher quality.

Falling of trees in water is very normal we all know. But in india most of the river pond etc. At everywhere you will see the fallen plants, leaves and trees. Tbh we all know people are not taking care of nature.

Some people are just selfish and don't care about looking after our planet.

Floating logs wow. I want to understand how it manages to float, when it should probably be at bottom of that lake

Only partially floating. Parts of the tree are touching the bottom actually!

Pretty shots! Those fallen trees will slowly rot away, but it provides nutrients to micro organisms and eventually the fish and provides fertilizer for more trees to grow as well as plants. I hope you had a great weekend!

Having a great time at our summer vacation/hiking spot. Already have taken about 100 photos.

I didn't know that water also plays a major role in decomposing. This process of death, then regeneration and rebirth is interesting to observe for me :)

The cycle of life right, thanks for looking.

Those fallen logs are great places for fish to hide. Always good to leave them in the water when you can. Turtles like to get up on them too.
