Reflection © by Carolyn Treadway

Carolyn says about this image:  “In this photograph, a long dead tree rests half submerged, and is reflected in a calm lake. The reflection allows us to see it more clearly. Even though stripped down to its stark core essence, the tree endures, storing a lot of life history/wisdom. Also it conveys strength, tenacity, and serenity—qualities our hearts will need for the times to come. It gifts us with a precious glimpse of simple yet profound beauty.”
