Shots from Chilling Waterfall hike: Survival of the fittest

A sea of Shorea seeds fallen on the ground.



















Some will take root and grow into young saplings.



















And some may will grow into mighty and magnificant trees to tower over the forest floor.

love the sequence in which your photos were posted...the way it tells a story.
some day, our children or grandchildren may trek through the very same path we took yesterday and pass a huge, tall and majestic shorea that was once the little seed or sapling whose image you captured in a tiny digital device. with it's now mature and mighty voice whispering thru' it's leaves it would say,... 'whadda noisy n' nosy bunch your parents and grandparents were! shooting every single thing they set their eyes on!" : }

If Treebeard were around then, perhaps he would translate for them ;-)
Burarum!

Who's Treebeard...???

Moggie, maybe they would find my shorea that you dropped, being a majestic tree by then, with the words, 'thank you for saving me from a life in the city!'

Treebeard was a Shepherd of the Forest, from Lord of the Rings.
