Image Description: This scene is one found in nearly any forested area: a gathering of dead wood that is slowly degrading among its green surroundings. The muddy walls to one side of the deadwood suggest that this area may have been witness to a small mudslide in its recent history, potentially serving as the cause of death in the tree’s case. While the dying foliage could be seen as sad or negative, it also brings to mind the constant regeneration of life, especially in the forest; while the tree has lost its life, the copious amounts of minerals and nutrients that it will leach back into the soil will help to feed a whole new generation of saplings, and even small animals.
