I was shed hunting/looking for bear sign with my dog a few days ago and ran into this huge old stump. It is not a tourist destination or anything like that. It just sits hidden back in the woods. When I first saw it, I was taken by it's large size and knew that I wanted to photograph it. I wonder how long ago this thing was a sapling? We all have seen old stumps in the woods, this one just struck me by it's immense size.
I sat my hiking buddy/Baxter next to it for scale. Baxter goes with me wherever I go in the woods if I am not hunting to shoot an animal. I think I will get this picture framed because of Baxter being in the picture.
