The Beauty in Death

I know what you are expecting! What morbid thing is she about to write about??? The Beauty in Death??? What? But alas, I am not writing about death of humans or how you can see the light and the happiness in the darkest situations. I am talking about the glorious natural beauty of a tree that has no life- It's life was taken from it. This tree is a stump. I was walking along this sunny afternoon and noticed this stump and I thought it was really interesting. There is beauty in everything if you open your eyes.

The detail...

The light dives in and out of the bark. To me the bark is like a mini world with mountains and valleys.
