Nature has taken a hand in the appearance of
this wonderful figure, adding to and subtracting
from the original paint until it wears a costume
that resembles autumn leaves. Like the leaves, it
reminds us in a bittersweet way of the passage
of time, of the changes that inevitably happen to
all of us.
