You can almost feel how the ants crawls up under the trousers, in a good way. It’s hard making good photographs of the woods. The deep forest floor, a wonderful caption, too.

I like your crop and the quotes. Happy 4th of July to you guys!
Thanks, Monte!
It’s these types of openings in the forest that add diversity and life. They also make great photo ops.

Happy 4th of July!
