"To everything there is a season..." - Ecclesiastes 3:1
Nature is a continuous cycle of ebbs and flows of life. It undergoes a metamorphosis as each season passes; from bursting out of the ground, erupting with blossoms, fading and wilting to falling back to earth to nourish the soil for the next cycle. Whether I am zoomed in on a minute detail of a flower using a macro lens or finding unique trees to capture, nature is so compelling because it is full of shapes, patterns, textures and an incredible palette of colors.
