Autumn.  The time of the year when growth stops and withering takes over.

Plant life is now turning from the vertical to the horizontal and the ground will be richer.   Is this a matter of death or might it be life?  In each of these images, both answers are present.

Try getting down on the ground to get a shot and you might learn what I did today that while the plants are dead they sometimes offer gifts in the way of new plants in the form of stickers on one’s clothing.  Generous gifts.

They aren’t all stickers, some take wing.

And some are berries.  But all could well produce new life next year.

So is it death?  Is it life?  Yes.
