Photofeed Macrophotography Contest

Climate changes influenced the way the forest began to look. I've noticed it before, but I could have formulated it. More precisely, I just didn't set myself such a task. "Changed." It seemed to me that it was enough. Now I think I've found the answer.

Due to the lack of long periods when the ground is covered with a thick layer of snow, last year's leaves and dead grass do not have time to turn into soil or mix with it sufficiently. During the periods of thaw, young grass has time to appear. Thus, the appearance of the forest retains the signs of all seasons.

If, looking at the photos of five years ago and more, you can tell exactly what season it was, then in recent years everything has mixed up. Sometimes I determine the season only due to the fact that all my photos are stored in folders by months. What will happen next? We will have only one season, very average? Or two very contrasting ones?

Do we really have an influence on it? According to scientists, global weather disasters date back to the era of dinosaurs. I often wonder if a person overestimates his role? Ultimately, this planet existed before humanity and will exist after.
