Being a Planter

Kelowna, British Columbia

...or, at least, the forest is doing its best to turn this old Rambler into a planter.
There is plenty of organic matter accumulating in and on the old wreck and several plant communities
are beginning to take hold and grow in various nooks and crannies. It is just a matter of time.
Found along the Mission Creek Greenway.

Aside from loving wrecks so much - especially the ones that become planters ;), i absolutely love the detail and muted colors here.
