Subtle Autumn

There are a few small clues here that Autumn has begun.

Protected by the surrounding forest, the ferns around this decaying log are still rich green.

Processes happen slowly in this part of the forest, but they are inexorable in their progress.

The log will in time be reduced to its elements and return to the soil which gave it life.

A window in the wall of an old building.

Everything falls apart eventually.

Early Settlers?

This trappers cabin is near our place.  The roof is long gone but when it was built it was quite cozy and functional inside.  The friend who owns the land built it in 1972 with the aid of a French Canadian wood carver of his acquaintance as an exercise in woodcraft.  It served his children as a memory maker and fun place to be.

I have visited many times over the past years as it has slowly been deteriorating.  A couple of years ago the top half of a hemlock tree fell on it and contributed to its derelict appearance.

It will be some time before it’s all on the ground but Mother Nature doesn’t own a watch.
