One new tree

 More logs along the shore:

And a new tree.

Crumbling tide-thrown logs hold down the sand, gradually disintegrating to form new soil, creating habitat for salt-tolerant plants, then grasses, and eventually for pioneer trees. Which will, in time, become tide-wandering logs ...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Troncones dejados por la marea detienen la arean, y poco a poco se desmoronan, formando un nuevo suelo donde pueden crecer plantas halófilas, y más tarde, los pastos, abriendo paso para los árboles pioneros. Los cuales, con el tiempo, llegarán a ser troncones llevados por la marea.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
