seasons, cycles, permanence and change











This collection is based on things that seem eternal and steadfast,
yet are changing as time goes on. Cycles begin again and again and yet
something has changed ever so slightly from the time before.

The relationship of the elements, each an enduring part of the whole,
is balanced against the cycle of the seasons providing continuance over
time and change.  The elements are matter, and the seasons are time.

Mountains rise, trees grow, rivers erode, and we age and change.

What appears to remain the same is forever changing.
