This was one of our first labs that I was out and brought my camera to take pictures. I really like this picture of the inside of a hollowed out tree trunk. The tree had died a long time ago and is in the stages of decomposing. The middle of the tree, because it was dead first, started to decompose while other organisms moved in to use the trunk as shelter. There are mosses and many species of insects that were living in there when I took the picture.

I like this picture because I captured the light rays from the top and they illuminated the rest of the inside. I was wondering what types of larger animals use the tree trunk as shelter in either the winter or the summer months when I took it. It looks like a great home for some small mammals.
