Well, I was driving up to Princeton from Kelowna about a week ago, going along the Coquihalla Connector, when this picture came to me. In British Columbia, we basically have a cancer killing our forests off. It goes by the name of the Mountain Pine Beetle. Apparently brought over here from Europe some time ago. The mountain scape along the road was marred by red and dying trees.
Here, this wolf hunter studies the tree. He is not happy and has noticed an increase in the dying trees in his pack's territory. The yellow bubbles on the tree are caused by them as well as the sawdust on the bottom. I don' t know if they are active in teh winter, but it the trees don't look any less dead.
The background didn't quite turn out how I wanted it to. More practice I suppose
