abstract trees (patterns in nature series)

I like the patterns the tree trunks make in this image I created using slow shutter speed and camera movement. It reminds me of the fact that life is not static. Change and movement are oddly enough two of life’s “constants”. Longfellow puts it nicely:

Nothing that is can pause or stay;
The moon will wax, the moon will wane,
The mist and cloud will turn to rain,
The rain to mist and cloud again,
Tomorrow be today.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

May we learn to embrace the changes that come our way and see the gifts they hold.
