Annie Dillard wrote a hilarious paragraph about how wasteful it is for trees to shed their leaves. She wonders, wouldn’t it have been tidier and less extravagant for them to just hold on to them from year to year? We could argue that, but in the meantime, there’s the beauty of the trees’ transition to enjoy.
Beautiful image!

Life in its changes, beautiful surprises, mysterious too

There is true beauty in decay for the sake of renewal. The cycle of life.

Such a sensitive shot…it looks like aged parchment to me.
