What Lies Beneath

Photographer's Statement:

This blueberry bush that is starting to grow after a long winter is holding little critters in the dirt. With this one blueberry bush there is a home to hundreds of little creatures who are helping mother nature. Never underestimate the power of one little bush, because you never know what is just a few inches beneath.
