Photosynthesis: the process used by plants and other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism's activities. This process is occurring right now, by this once vast network of life and organisms. The spring sun bringing this natural metropolis back to its full life. Nature’s cycle of life-death-rebirth almost complete. Another year.

What lives on these branches? At this time, I think nothing. The branches have taken winter’s toll. Almost all life has been eradicated from these mighty branches, which are now an almost barren wasteland. Only a few forms of life remain: the majestic leaves, which have just started to grow, hold a thousand colonies of life. It is cold, but it will be warmer. They just have to wait out the last of the rainy months. I hope they have umbrellas.

A dead shrub lying in an open plain of grass, the winter months taking its toll on the once green and vibrant being. Yet a feeling of rejuvenation is apparent as a few of its leaves start to grow. A minute but promising step to new life once again. It can feel the sunlight blanketing it with warmth and a promise of spring. Will it be an end to the cold, wet winter months? Will the sun finally stay with the shrub? I highly doubt it.
