Frosted and Wilted...

Frosted and Wilted
In these frost covered and wilted leaves I see a graceful and elegant submission to the inevitable onset of winter.

Yet the the remaining green on a few of these leaves suggests that the story here is not over yet.

All members of the plant kingdom play difficult a cat-and-mouse game of survival with the changing seasons.

Some "win" and some "lose"... but these leaves seem confident in the knowledge that right now they are just settling down for a "long winter's nap" and that after this they will reemerge in spring with renewed strength to greet the warmth and sunshine of another spring.

 And the cycle of life goes on. :)
