Forest Floor

A forest undergoes many changes; the most dramatic change can be seen as the spilled out floor pocket full of lichens and seeds. They emerge from open splits in nearby trees to the twisted angles of branches laced by buds and leaves.“The fallen leaves in the forest seemed to make even the ground glow and burn with light”  - Malcolm Lowry, October Ferry To Gabriola
