I noticed these tree roots at the bottom of Lupin Falls. Now, at the end of a dry summer, they're out of the splash zone; soon they will be within reach of the water again. A sort of once-yearly high tide/low tide cycle far from the ocean.

| Roots of a live tree clinging to the surface of the rocks. Wet season splashing keeps the soil at a minimum. Moss manages to hold on. |

Vi estas raices de árbol en la base de las cascadas Lupin. Ahora, al final de un verano seco, no les toca el agua, pero en poco tiempo volverá a llenar la quebrada. Es algo así como el ciclo de la marea, pero con un solo ciclo anual.
- Árbol muerto, con las raices bien lavadas, hasta pulidas, por las corrientes de la temporada de lluvias.
- Este árbol vivo se adhiere a la pared rocosa, pero muchas de sus raices quedan expuestas. La corriente no permite la acumulación de tierra; el musgo es más resistente.

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!
