Weekly Photo Challenge- Serenity

Posted on January 16, 2015 by johnvic8

This week’s Photo Challenge is Serenity

An old stump in my woods,

slowly returning to the earth from whence it came,

lovingly sheltered and cared for by a soft caress of moss.

  Thanks, Jason. There’s a lot of it in my woods right now…seems to be the most prominent green there.
