Weekly Photo Challenge – Renewal

A lot of people look at fall as a season of dying. Summer with its sunny days and warmth has ended. All the autumn leaves are dying and falling off of the trees and littering up the lawns. Days are getting shorter and darker. But actually fall is a season of RENEWAL. Sure the leaves are falling, but the trees aren’t dying. They’re taking a nap to store of the energy needed for a spring revival. And all those leaves littering up the lawns … with the help of the rain and the snow, they’re going decompose and renew the soil with nutrients and humus to feed the trees and plants come spring.

So all those leaves cluttering up the lawn …

Are just signs of RENEWAL!
