Cycles of Nature

Cycles – Collage with Hand Painted Papers, 5×7″

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

– Albert Camus

These are just a few images from the changing leaves in my neighborhood. The cycles of nature are evident everywhere, as the flowers fade and the trees explode in a riot of color. Just as fast as the beautiful colors emerge, the leaves begin fluttering to the ground. It’s beautiful, but so brief. Very soon all the colors will be gone, except for the pines and other evergreens.

The above collage is part of the series using my doodles, cutout shapes, and painted papers. Still having fun with these.
