There’s a lot going on here, a chaotic mixture of colors and textures, random foreground and background elements, a riot of out-of-control growth in various stages of dying before winter.

In other words, it’s a leafy analog to real life, in all its achingly diverse and unfair and painful and tragic and stunning beauty.

Let’s just focus on the good, then. It’s how we best cope.
