Seeing 2010 (#167)

For your consideration: perhaps a bit of "gimme shelter" -- a tiny seed huddled within the minute confines of a tree stump's rings.

As it happens, I photographed this minuscule scene while roaming a large, local cemetery. I was intrigued at the confluence of a capsule of future life being snugly nestled amid rigorous, fossil-like remains of a majestic edifice of what this vessel might one day become.

Nature's fortitude and persistence.
