Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Beautiful mix of delicate fern and the enduring wood of this tree trunk. The little fungi shelf and ivy is a nice touch, too. Our Creator does have an eye for what is esthetically pleasing, as do you Bron, as the photographer.

This looks very ancient, are you sure there are no dinosaurs around the corner? I like it a lot.
