One frozen berry

A single berry clings desperately to a single branch. What normally reaches for the sky is now weighed down to the vertical by a thick coat of ice.

Within hours, the temperature will soar, the ice will melt, and the entire assembly seen here will bounce back to its rightful position high above.

Nothing lasts. The ice flashes brilliantly before it disappears. The scene freezes for what seems like a blink before external forces decide it’s time to change yet again.

So we capture it while we can, making memories that may not last the forever we might have wished for. But will at least linger long enough to appreciate.
