It is autumn, the trees have shed many of their leaves and gone to sleep. I took the time to appreciate nature in it's dormant state, i hugged a tree on a cold afternoon, wanting it to feel appreciated and realize that it wasn't all about green leaves and shade it could provide. I wanted the tree to know that I loved it for what it was, not how it looked. This is my tribute to seeing beauty in all forms, simple, naked, unrestricted.
