Ferns and the base of a tree trunk touched by sunlight.

This tree surrounded by ferns is on the slope of the river bank close to Lumb Hole waterfalls at Crimsworth Dean. I was balanced on a rock in the river having taken photos looking up and down stream and was about to climb out when I noticed the lovely tones and patterns made by the light catching the ferns and bark.
