Beauty in Death

Photographer's Statement:

In this piece you can see a dead tree. This seems sad but it did happen to fall in the water. This signifies how the tree will be recycled to bring life to other trees. The snow brings life to the dead tree and in the spring turtles,birds or fish will use this tree as a resting place or to find shelter.
