The Log - Year 2

17,781 views

There are some things we see without seeing, but in them a whole world is held unto themselves. For the last couple of years, wildlife photographer Robert Bush Sr. has had a trail camera situated above a stream in the Pennsylvania wilderness. The "log" videos are mesmerizing and entertaining, as we observe how integral this log is to the life of the forest. What appears to be just a log is so much more...a dinner table, a roadway, a hunting post, a courting place, and a way to find home.

Be The Change

Seeing and hearing "old" things in new ways can be life changing as you can read in this story.

Read "A Radish from The Street" to see how a gift of food could be seen in a whole new way.

Observe something in your surroundings or neighborhood that you look at every day. See it with new eyes. How do others use it in different ways than you do? Share in the comments below.

Every single beiing and every moment of sound. Thank you. This was my home of my grandfather growing up.

It is wonderful to see the variety of life with which we coexist. I also enjoyed seeing the kingfisher whack its fish on the log.

Kathy

Amazing! Wonderful!

Just magical--I loved the 'permanence' of the log as a focus. All the different creatures and how they made it across the log--sure-footed or flighty or slipping. I laughed out loud when a bear and bobcat (I think?) looked right in the camera. What a gift--thanks so much!

Kate

Loved the gracefulness of most of the bears.

Joanna

It filled my heart and made me smile. ðŸ¥° Thank you for sharing.

Janine

The variety of wildlife crossing the log was incredible. I noticed that the beautiful Wood Ducks weren't listed in the cast of characters.

Mary

I love this. Wish more people were inspired by the natural world, as maybe theyâ€™d be more interested in saving it.
