SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry 2 – Reading the Landscape - Change - SPC 21
Nothing in nature is static. Change is inevitable. It may seem slow to us, but it is happening, nonetheless. These American Sweetgum trees are slowly marching through the clearing next to this small pond in Arkansas. These trees are beautiful, but they can take over the open fens where rare orchids and other sensitive plants live. Without regular wildfires, it takes real effort to keep them in check. What natural changes are occurring in your area?

This photo is breathtaking it looks like a drawing I mean the trees beautiful just great
Wow, great photo. It would make a great (and VERY hard) puzzle.
That would be some puzzle, alright! I think it would be neat if that reflection was clear ice instead of water - then imagine trying to ice skate on that! =8O
Hectic.... I get dizzy looking at it {smile}
Haha - if that was ice instead of water, try ice-skating there. ; )
