Cycles

Spectacular, yes?

The ginkgo leaf fan shape is particularly affecting, reminiscent to me of the cycle of enduring fragility.

On that topic, we all owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to the people who have fought and continue to fight for the freedoms we take for granted every day. Never mind politics or policy. Let's take a moment to consider their brave sacrifice and be grateful for the safe lives we lead.
