Description
I am an avid beachcomber and I took this photo of tree stumps in a tidal pool on Hunting Island, a barrier island in South Carolina. As the barrier islands protect the inland, they take the brunt of tide, wind and hurricanes. They are forever changing, what used to be an estuary in the back of the island is now an ancient oyster bed in the shallows of the sea. The layers of flora and fauna fascinate me from the sand on the beach to the delicate sand dunes and reaching to the trees in the forest. This tidal pool has the remaining tree stumps from the distant past. I just noticed in this photograph the reflection of trees in this pool and I guess it is one of those moments when you aren't really seeing what you are photographing. I only digitally enhanced the color in order to bring out the image of the trees otherwise you wouldn't see them. So the cycle of life continues with today remembering yesterday.

Beautiful...could almost be a snow scape.
Pamela Iris Harden replied:
Hi, Karen! Yes, but if it were snow, I probably wouldn't have been there! :)
