Fallen Trees in Harms Woods

 Forests around the Chicago River contain a lot of things that would normally be 

blocked out by dense lower canopy and are noticeable only in fall and winter. 

Among these are trees that have fallen over.  

I biked to Harms Woods and hiked through the mud to an area with a

 bunch of fallen trees. That's pretty much all there was. Some moss, fungi, a

 squirrel, and fallen trees. I hoped to find something interesting but overall everything
 was mundane. The tree in the bottom photo was pretty grotesque.
