Me And My Pals

Posted by Eric Cousineau (Sherwood Park, Canada) on 5 December 2010 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

While some moisture absorbs directly into the leaves, the majority collects on the grooved surface of the leaf and drips to the grund. Water collected from fog may account for up to one-third of the total water in the redwood forest system. Water the ever-present lifeblood of the redwoods, sustains life, both ancient and new.
