High Water - Fine Art Prints artist Michif is the traditional languageIn this riverside forest, the floodwaters are high. When you look down into the ferns, you can look back up into the canopy above. This is a nourishing time for the forest. Floods bring nutrients and are an essential part of the circle of life.
