Take a closer look

 

 

Look at the bark of a tree and sometimes you'll see moss.

So many different kinds...

 

If you peer beneath and around the bits and pieces of the moss, you'll see toads,

 small insects,

a whole host of life that prospers in that miniature environment.

A lumberman will look at a forest and see so many board feet of lumber.

 

I see a living city.
