Great shot Hayward - looks like this log has been around for a while yet there appears to be some new chains and a rusty one as well. Cheers, Bernz

Nice shots Hayward...I love trees, but of course I prefer them upright...this one looks like it could have been magnificent in it's life.

I really like the 2nd one Hayward, the Willows blowing in the background and the geese on the lake. Looks like the tree would have been a beautiful one as well.
Thanks for Sharing these

Two great captures Hayward of how nature lost the battle. I wonder how long that old tree will remain in the water, and the ducks just swim on by not knowing what once stood with great beauty. Lovely work as usual my friend.

Dave.
